Public debt falls to 286 billion, the lowest value in four months

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 11:34

Portuguese public debt fell in July to 286 billion euros, the lowest value recorded in the last four months. This decline occurs after a sharp rise recorded in the month of June.

The most recent data places public debt at the lowest level since March, reversing the growth trend that had been observed in the previous month.

However, the figures now known do not include the relationship between debt and the wealth produced by the country, that is, the proportion of debt in relation to Gross Domestic Product is not presented.

Farmer reveals how much he receives for tomatoes that cost up to 3 euros in the supermarket: difference surprises

A Spanish farmer, Juan Carlos, revealed that he receives around one euro per kilo of tomatoes, while the same product costs between 2.50 and 3 euros on supermarket shelves. The price difference along the food chain has been one of the main complaints of the agricultural sector in Spain, which faces growing production costs, adverse weather conditions, and competition from imported products. Although there is a Food Chain Law in Spain aimed at preventing sales below production cost, farmers argue that greater control and more effective enforcement of the rules are needed to ensure a fairer distribution of value throughout the entire chain.
