The government has presented the 2026 budget proposal to Parliament
The Ministry of Finance has submitted the proposal for the 2026 state budget to Parliament. The budget is an important document that defines how the state will spend its money and where it will collect revenue during the following year.
According to the proposal, total state expenditure next year will be 90.3 billion euros. State revenue, in turn, is estimated to be 81.6 billion euros. This means that the state budget is in deficit, meaning there are more expenses than revenues.
The budget proposal is now under consideration by Parliament. Members of Parliament will discuss the proposal and make necessary changes to it before final approval. The process is a key part of Finland's parliamentary decision-making.
Balancing the economy is a key goal for the government in the coming years. The Ministry of Finance is closely monitoring the economic situation to ensure that state debt remains manageable and that public finances strengthen in the long term.
The final budget will be confirmed later this year after parliamentary proceedings. Citizens can follow the budget debate in the news as Parliament begins its work on the proposal.
