The Xunta has sent this Thursday to the Parliament of Galicia a formal request to convene an extraordinary plenary session in order to present the spending ceiling corresponding to the 2027 fiscal year.
The only issue included in the agenda will be the debate and voting on the non-financial spending limit of the autonomous community of Galicia, as stated in the budgetary discipline and financial sustainability law.
According to the Galician Government in a press release, the request is made to be processed by the urgent procedure, with the aim of starting as soon as possible the preparation of the budgets once the Consello approves the financial spending for the next fiscal year.
The Ministry of Finance and Public Administration published on June 30 in the Official Journal of Galicia (DOG) the order that sets the instructions for the preparation of next year's accounts, which establish the foundations of the financial plan of the autonomous Executive for 2027.
This was the first step of a process that will continue in the coming days with the validation of the non-financial spending ceiling. "This will allow Galicia to continue being one of the first communities to prepare and approve its annual accounts, delivering the budget project before October 20 for its approval before the end of the year and for it to come into effect on January 1, 2027," highlights Finance.
"The Galician Government continues, in this way, providing certainties and predictability to the economy of the autonomous community," it adds. At the same time, it emphasizes that Galicia will have accounts that will prioritize "the continued strengthening of public assistance services, such as health, education, and dependency."
Promoting the modernization and digitalization of the Galician productive fabric, "favoring sustainable industrial development," innovation, and the consolidation of "strategic" value chains, as well as stimulating entrepreneurship, are among the central goals of the budgets.
Among other aspects, the ministry also raises the need to find "financial substitutes" for the MRR funds (recovery and resilience mechanism) to maintain their "transformative and multiplier" effect on the Galician productive fabric.
