The Public Finance Council (CFP) updated its projections and predicts that, after a balanced budget in 2025, the country could return to a deficit of around 1% of GDP in 2026, due to ongoing spending and commitments made throughout the legislature.

The CFP emphasizes that these projections do not yet consider the effects of meeting NATO targets or possible new external tariffs, such as those from the US.

This potential deficit scenario requires a review of fiscal policies, especially with regard to current spending and execution of the RRP investment.
