Financial Period Forecast of Cash Surplus and Deficit
Forecasting the use of cash surplus from the eighteenth financial period reveals a starting deficit of CHF 3 million. Factors influencing the surplus include savings from prior obligations, full expenditure in 2023, and limited interest income due to low rates. However, the final surplus amount will only be determined in 2025. The General Fund statement details income, expenditures, and the ending surplus/deficit for the period 2020-2023. A congress resolution authorizes the suspension of Financial Regulation 9.1 for the nineteenth financial period (2024-2027) to manage the distribution of any surplus from the previous period.
