Portugal Confirms Adherence to EU Fiscal Targets (eco.sapo.pt)

• Confirmed compliance with 2024-2025 spending limits.
• Expenditure deviations remain within allowable EU thresholds.
• Commitment to ongoing fiscal discipline reaffirmed.

"The Portuguese government has assured Brussels that it met agreed spending targets for 2024 and 2025 and remains on track for 2026. Although government expenditure growth exceeded the nominal ceiling, the deviation remains within permitted margins, avoiding formal non-compliance status. Lisbon continues to navigate the constraints of the EU’s medium-term fiscal framework while managing domestic spending requirements."
