Andalusia’s 2027 budget has cleared the parliamentary debate on its totality after opposition amendments were rejected. The €54.7bn plan allocates 64.4% of spending to social policies.

Social policies account for €35,246.7 million of Andalucía’s proposed 2027 budget, or 64.4% of the total. That allocation is 7.8% higher than in 2026.

On 11 November 2026, the bill cleared the debate on its totality in the Andalusian Parliament after total amendments from PSOE-A were rejected by PP and Vox; filings from Por Andalucía and Adelante Andalucía met the same result. The three opposition groups did not attend the sitting in support of a nationwide general strike called by UGT and CCOO. The Parliament’s Board of Spokespersons had approved the agenda on 4 November, scheduling the debate for 11 November. The vote allowed the bill to proceed to further parliamentary examination; it was not final approval of the budget.

At €54,716.7 million, the proposed budget is €3,118.8 million larger than the 2026 budget, a rise of 6%. It is the first budget prepared by the PP-Vox executive, and the Junta presents it as the largest in Andalucía’s history. Carolina España, the regional third vice-president and minister for Economy, Finance and European Funds, said the plan was intended to reinforce public services and support economic growth, while also consolidating employment gains. She described the accounts as providing stability and security.

The budget forecasts a balanced position with zero deficit. Its economic assumptions include GDP growth of 2.3% in 2027 and a 2.5% rise in employment, taking the number of people in work to 3.78 million. These are projections, not reported outcomes.

Tax measures include a 0.25-point reduction in the first four regional income-tax brackets for annual incomes up to €60,000. The plan also proposes a further 0.25-point cut to the property-transfer tax, wider income limits for reduced rates and a deduction for large families renting their main home. A separate account of regional housing rules appears in this Valencia housing dispute.

Non-financial revenue is forecast at €50,015.9 million, 8.7% above 2026. The Junta expects €43,595.9 million in own-source funding, equal to 79.7% of the budget, and €3,215 million from European funds. The regional government also says it expects to meet its financing needs through capital markets without using the national fund for regional governments.

Planned investment totals €5,901.2 million, alongside a €700 million investment programme for projects that do not require continuing budget commitments in later years. Health receives €17,037.5 million, up 6.4%, while education is allocated €11,889.7 million, a 5.7% increase. The dependency-care programme is budgeted at €3,308.3 million, up 26.7% on the previous year.

Housing-related measures include €900.2 million in specific actions and a housing department budget of €954.6 million. The plan also raises municipal cooperation funding to €3,024 million, including €555 million for PATRICA.
