One thousand days without Budgets: patches exceed 330 billion since 2024
The unupdated budget items force the Government to redirect more than 330,000 million euros since the expiry of the 2023 Accounts, between credit extensions and transfers between ministries.
Spain's budget paralysis has reached 1,000 days, a historic figure marking the country's inability to present a budget project for three years. The government has managed to cope with the absence of General State Budgets (PGE) by redirecting resources and approving credit extensions and modifications, totaling over 330,000 million euros.
The state's finances have also been sustained by increased tax revenues, such as the 53,000 million euros more collected in 2024, and European funds. The Independent Fiscal Responsibility Authority (Airef) has warned that an adjustment of 10,000 million euros is needed this year to meet fiscal goals, and the government has promised to present a budget project for 2027.
