One prediction market prices this story:
- Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 22%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the European Council officially declares that all 27 EU member states have agreed to the final terms of the 2028-2034 long-term budget before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake general political agreement or individual national announcements for the required official declaration by the European Council.
