Draft budget projects rise in finance spending

The government has approved the draft public budget for 2027 to 2029. Spending on finance is set to rise to €9.57 billion next year. The draft also envisages divergent trends in spending across individual areas.

Transport and housing have been allocated a total of €4.159 billion for 2027. Compared with the approved 2026 budget, this is an increase of almost €568 million, or 15.8 percent. The growth is mainly linked to a larger volume of funds from the European Union and to co-financing from the state budget. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗

The economy area is to receive €1.82 billion, which is €462 million less than in the previous year. Spending on regional development is to be cut by €263 million. The draft therefore envisages a decline in funding for this area, despite the continuation of budget planning for the following years.

Spending on sport is to reach €178.8 million. The Ministry of Finance stated that an important source of funding for sport remains the levy on the operation of lottery games. teraz.sk ↗

Foreign affairs are to be allocated resources of €192 million. The budget also includes more than €2.5 million in grants for Slovak communities abroad, provided through the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad. The draft will determine the funding of public policies for 2027 to 2029. teraz.sk ↗
