How Parliament voted

The budget is not voted on as a whole. Parliament voted 3 times on individual appropriations and opposition alternatives, and the budget was adopted on the basis of those votes.

A passed act does not enter into force immediately: the President of the Republic confirms it, and it enters into force on the date set in the act.

Key points of the debate

The debate on the first supplementary budget for 2026 was highly contentious between the Government and the opposition. The opposition strongly criticised accelerating indebtedness, weakening tax revenues, missing employment measures, and funding for the West Railway (Länsirata) project. The government parties defended the proposal, citing in particular the strengthening of security of supply, defence, and strategic growth sectors.

  • How should the rapidly growing central government debt and declining tax revenues be addressed?
  • Are the measures in the supplementary budget sufficient to curb unemployment and stimulate economic growth?
  • Is funding the West Railway project justified in the current economic situation?
  • Should the upcoming corporate tax cut be cancelled to balance public finances?
  • According to the group, the supplementary budget targets appropriations at strategically correct areas, such as national defence, electricity grid reliability, and boosting industrial investment.

    Tämän lisätalousarvion ytimessä on kysymys siitä, miten Suomi vahvistaa turvallisuuttaan ja huoltovarmuuttaan aikana, jolloin turvallisuusympäristö on muuttunut pysyvästi.

  • Finns PartyIn favour

    The group emphasised increasing the state's ownership stake in the transmission system operator Fingrid as a critical measure for security of supply, and considered the investments allocated to new energy technology and SME development important.

    Kriittinen infra on pidettävä omissa käsissä, ja kantaverkko, jos mikä, on kriittistä infraa. Sähköjärjestelmän toimintavarmuus on osa kansallista turvallisuutta.
    Riikka Purra
  • The group supported the proposal's investments in the green transition in industry, SMEs, and securing Sámi-language health and social services.

    Kyse on uusista työpaikoista, mahdollisuuksista yrityksille ja uusista verotuloista. Ilahduttavaa on myös tämä 25 miljoonan euron panostus pk-yrityksiin.
    Otto Andersson
  • The group considered accelerating indebtedness and declining tax revenue estimates catastrophic, and demanded the cancellation of the corporate tax cut as well as direct measures to address unemployment and the crisis in the construction sector.

    Kyllä nyt toivoisin, että tämä rahaa ei ole -politiikka myös tarkoittaisi siellä hallituksessakin sitä, että tätä yhteisöveropäätöstä arvioitaisiin uudestaan.
    Joona Räsänen
  • The group opposed funding the West Railway project and proposed transferring the funds to reducing the maintenance backlog across the national road network and supporting economic growth.

    Keskusta on tehnyt vastalauseen, joka käytännössä kohdistuu yhteen osioon eli niin sanottuun tunnin junaan eli Turun junaan, mikä se sitten nimeltään onkaan.

  • GreensAgainst

    The group considered the supplementary budget insufficient to tackle the problems in the economy and youth unemployment, and called for stricter climate and environmental measures regarding the West Railway project.

    Lisätalousarvio on jälleen riittämätön vastaus Suomen julkisen talouden haasteisiin.
    Saara Hyrkkö
  • The group criticised the Government's policy of cuts and tax reductions, which it argues has only deepened deficits and left the unemployment crisis and the construction sector without necessary stimulus.

    Lisätalousarvio kertoo ennen kaikkea Suomen talouden heikosta tilanteesta ja hallituksen talouspolitiikan umpikujasta. Jälleen kerran verotuloarviota hilataan alaspäin ja velanottoa ylöspäin.
