The Czech government approved the draft state budget for 2027 on Monday, September 21. It envisages a deficit of 386 billion crowns, which corresponds to approximately 15.9 billion euros. The planned deficit is three billion crowns lower than the draft announced at the end of August. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The budget's approval was decided by the cabinet of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová stated after the government meeting that the state will operate with a deficit of 386 billion crowns next year. The draft now represents the second-highest deficit in the history of the Czech Republic. denik.cz ↗
The reduction of the planned deficit compared to the August version amounts to only three billion crowns. The government thus adjusted the original draft only slightly, even though it discussed the shape of the budget in connection with the state's expected economic performance next year. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
The approved state budget draft will now continue through the legislative process. Its final form will determine what revenues, expenditures, and deficit the Czech Republic will operate with in 2027.
