New INE and Bank of Portugal reports condition the State Budget debate

New reports from the National Statistics Institute and the Bank of Portugal, revealing inflation of 3% and mortgage interest rates of 3.1%, are shaping the debate on the State Budget in Lisbon. The Ministry of Finance needs to calibrate public expenditure rigorously, while PSD, the governing party, advocates fiscal rigor and progressive tax reduction, PS demands priority investment in health and education with an 18% increase in public investment, and Chega is imposing strict conditions for immediate tax relief for the middle class. The budgetary surplus of 0.7% at the start of the year gives the Executive some breathing room, but the opposition demands that this financial slack reach citizens quickly.
