Overview
- The Cortes de Aragón, which approved the spending ceiling on Thursday, September 24, set a non‑financial spending limit of €8,398.1 million to start the 2027 budget process.
- The vote passed with PP and Vox in favor, PSOE and Aragón–Teruel Existe abstaining, and Chunta Aragonesista and Izquierda Unida voting no, and opposition parties say they had limited prior consultation.
- Aragón’s ceiling is based on projected non‑financial revenues of €8,039 million, including €6,016.8 million from the regional financing system, €715.9 million from own and ceded taxes, plus accounting adjustments.
- Castilla y León plans to approve its own ceiling on October 1 after sending macroeconomic forecasts to AIReF, and the region’s 2027 GDP projection of 2.3% stands above AIReF’s 1.9% central estimate.
- The techo de gasto is the legally required first step that limits what regional governments may propose for non‑financial spending, and its approval now puts focus on how the 'prioridad nacional' clause will shape health, education and social services in the draft budgets.
