Aruba’s Parliament will have a budget of almost Afl. 16.5 million for 2027 — Afl. 16,460,400 in total, an increase of Afl. 300,000, or about 1.9 percent, compared with 2026.
The entire increase is destined for investments, which rise by 50 percent, from Afl. 600,000 to Afl. 900,000. Parliament’s regular spending, by contrast, stays exactly the same at Afl. 15,560,400 — flat for the second consecutive year. Of that amount, Afl. 15,319,800 comes from the government treasury, while Afl. 240,600 consists of pension contributions.
According to NoticiaCla, the States’ budget was approved on November 4 and published on November 10. Notably, the official document does not specify what the Afl. 900,000 investment budget will be spent on: there is no detailed breakdown for possible investments in infrastructure, technology or other parliamentary facilities.
Although the flat regular-spending figure holds for two years in a row, that does not rule out internal changes in how the spending is distributed.
