梵蒂冈在2024年结束时盈余160万欧元,扭转了2023年的赤字,原因是收入增加、成本控制和投资收益增加。
The Vatican ended 2024 with a €1.6 million surplus, reversing a 2023 deficit, due to higher revenues, cost controls, and investment gains.

The Holy See ended 2024 with a €1.6 million ($1.86 million) surplus, reversing a €51.2 million ($59.5 million) deficit in 2023, according to the Vatican’s Secretariat for the Economy.

Financial gains of $53.4 million from investments also contributed.
除医院外,记录了2 170万美元的盈余,但官员注意到,盈余包括一次性影响。
Excluding hospitals, a $21.7 million surplus was recorded, though officials note it includes one-time effects.
向外派任务拨款4.57亿美元,主要部分用于支持地方教会、福音传教、礼拜、外交和慈善服务。
$457 million was allocated to the apostolic mission, with major portions supporting local Churches, evangelization, worship, diplomacy, and charitable services.
