The Ministry of Finance publishes statistical information on budget execution for the last reporting month (April 2026), as well as estimates of the main indicators for the month ended (May 2026). The Fiscal Council presents comparative data on budget execution given the unusual situation of a prolonged budget with an extension.

The deficit for May alone is -0.74 billion euros and is worth -0.6% of GDP – also the highest value in the last 20 years (since 2007).
