Briefings
The INEM budget is projected to rise 30% to 330.9 million euros in 2027, driven by expected revenue from mandatory housing insurance and disaster risk coverage. Current tax rates on specific insurance types (life, health, auto) are expected to increase from 2.5% to 4%, though the legislative basis and implementation date remain undefined. The INEM president argues this funding is essential for ambulance costs, while insurers contest the model, noting that multiple policies may be taxed. No specific date for the new insurance obligations has been established.
