A Câmara de Lisboa today presents the proposal for a municipal budget for 2027, endorsed by the PSD/CDS-PP/IL leadership, which provides for an increase of 8.8% of the overall allocation, compared to the €1.345 million (ME) budgeted for this year.
According to the vice president of the Lisbon City Council (CML), Gonçalo Reis (PSD), the proposal provides for “a balanced budget, which strengthens the city’s intervention capacity without increasing taxes”, highlighting the total return of variable participation of the Singular Income Tax (IRS) to the Lisbons, minimum rate of Municipal Property Tax (IMI) and exemptions from spilling to more than 20,000 companies.
In a publication on social networks, Gonçalo Reis stressed that this is “a budget for the causes of Lisbon”, with the overall allocation to increase 8.8%, to strengthen the capacity of the municipality to respond and accelerate priority investments, including in housing, urban hygiene, security, mobility, public space and social cohesion.
The proposal for the Lisbon municipal budget for 2027 will be presented today at 11:00, at a press conference in the Paços do Concelho.
In the housing area, which according to the vice president of the CML “continues to be the great purpose”, the city intends to invest in more construction and rehabilitation of homes at affordable prices, solutions for those who need it most and for the middle class, and support for families in the lease effort.
As for financial sustainability, Gonçalo Reis said that the basis of this budget is the municipality’s own revenue and capital, with European funds as a complement to investment, as well as multi-annual banking financing, “to accelerate projects of high impact, without compromising the balance of municipal accounts”.
This is the second budget of the current mandate (2025-2029), proposed by the PSD/CDS-PP/IL governance, under the leadership of Carlos Coins (PSD), which for the feasibility of the budget document for this year 2026, with an expenditure of 1,345 ME, relied on the support of the See of the Aquida, since it ruled without an absolute majority, with eight of the 17 mandates of the CML.
However, in February of this year, Carlos Coins began to rule with an absolute majority by delegating competences to independent councilwoman Ana Simões Silva, elected by Cávez and who paraded the party three months after the local elections of 12 October 2025.
Currently, in opposition to the PSD/CDS-PP/IL governance are four PS councilors, one from Livre, one from BE, one from PCP and one from Enough.
The budget proposal for 2027 should therefore be approved by the CML. The same does not happen in the Municipal Assembly, a deliberative body where PSD/CDS-PP/IL has no absolute majority.
In the municipal budget for this year 2025, approved with votes against PS, Free, BE and CFP, the House estimated an expenditure of 1,345 ME, slightly lower than the 1,359 million planned for 2025.
In the previous term (2021-2025), also under the presidency of Carlos Coins, the four budgets of the PSD/CDS-PP leadership (IL did not integrate the municipal executive) were approved thanks to the abstention of the PS, with the remaining opposition – PCP, BE, Livre and Citizens By Lisbon (elected by the PS/Free coalition) – voted against.
