The financial rating agency S&P will issue its assessment on the classification and "outlook" of Portuguese public debt this Friday. S&P is the agency that assigns Portugal the highest rating among the five main rating agencies.
The decision comes at a time when Portugal has not yet approved the State Budget for the next year, which may influence the agency's assessment. Some analysts believe that Portugal could rise another notch in the classification, which would mean a further improvement in the sovereign debt rating.
However, due to budget uncertainty, some argue that the rating upgrade may be delayed until 2027, with the expectation that S&P will assess the evolution of the political and financial situation before making a definitive decision.
