The State of Friborg has drawn up a 2025 budget presenting a profit of some 700,000 francs and respecting the constitutional principle of balance. Complex, its preparation required numerous arbitrations. A sanitation program is confirmed.
“The growth in costs has been contained thanks to tight prioritization of expenses,” said the President of the Council of State Jean-Pierre Siggen on Wednesday. The big financier also mentioned a targeted increase in new jobs, the renunciation of any indexation of salaries and a staggering in the implementation of certain measures voted by the Grand Council.
The budget still includes a reassessment of tax revenues and an indexation of vehicle tax. The “significant” deterioration of the financial outlook also makes it necessary to draw up a consolidation program.
In view of the challenges, the government has already launched the work and reflections. His ambition is to be able to present this program by next spring.
