In 2026, the expenditure on health insurance was kept, but the judges of the Court of Auditors warned: next year, in order to preserve young people, the social security deficit will have to be reduced.
DECRYPTAGE - The judiciary believes that the Social Security budget has "a strong recovery goal," but that the political uncertainties and optimistic assumptions of the government could make it unattainable.
In a note delivered to Members on Tuesday 20 October, at the opening of the debates on the budget of the Secu, the Court of Auditors estimates the deficit 2026 to €21.8 billion, 2.4 more than expected. It considers the government's target of 12.7 billion in 2027 to be "fragile" and calls for 10 billion savings per year until 2030.
As the revenue section of the Social Security Finance Bill is just beginning to be examined in the Assembly, the Court of Auditors stresses the need for a €10 billion recovery from 2027 and the urgent need to find a sustainable financing solution for social security.
