2027: the budget as the Federal Council proposes it to Parliament (dispatch of August). Parliament adopts it in the winter session; until then it may still change.

Not here yet
The Confederation publishes these figures; schwur.ch has not read them in yet:
- Performance groups with basic mandate, goals and indicators (Band 2)
- Global budget and every credit with budget and financial plan (Band 2)
- Commitment credits and payment ceilings (Band 1B)
Not public. What a single service of this office costs is in its internal cost and performance accounting. The Confederation does not publish it; only the expenditure per performance group is public.
None of these lines is shown here as zero francs. Missing and zero are two different statements.
