Los retoques en los Presupuestos hasta junio superan los de todo el año pasado

La falta de unas cuentas públicas desde hace tres años dispara las modificaciones de crédito, que de enero a junio han alcanzado un récord de 77.000 millones

Los retoques en los Presupuestos hasta junio superan los de todo el año pasado

Budget adjustments up to June 2026 have surpassed those of the entire previous year, according to recent data. Despite the stark reality of Spain's economic situation deviating significantly from the circumstances three years ago, the government's efforts to present and pass a budget plan since then have been fraught with difficulties. Consequently, the public accounts that guide the nation's major operations continue to be based on the figures from 2023, rendering them severely outdated.

In response to this impasse, the Executive has devised a strategy to keep the economy functioning. This approach involves budgetary modifications, a form of fine-tuning that allows for alterations in the budget allocations. In the first half of 2026, the Ministry of Finance reappropriated a total of 77.281 million euros through this mechanism, surpassing the previous record of 76.943 million.

However, it is important to note that this figure pertains to the entire year of 2025. As the current fiscal year progresses, the Intervention General of the State Administration (IGAE), an entity dependent on the Ministry of Finance, anticipates that the final numbers will mark a new unprecedented level.
