Barlavento1 September 2026 at 12:41

The Portas do Sol Space has closed its physical facilities in Portimão after 12 years of activity. This decision marks the end of a significant presence in the Barlavento region.

However, some activities of the Portas do Sol Space will continue to operate, both in Lagoa and in Portimão, ensuring that services are not completely discontinued.

The closure comes in a context of reorganization of the organization's services, which chose to concentrate part of its activity in other locations in the region.

War and inflation take their toll: State expects to pay an additional 776 million in debt interest in 2027

The Portuguese Ministry of Finance expects public debt interest costs to increase by approximately 776 million euros in 2027, totaling more than seven billion euros in interest alone. This increase is due to the monetary tightening by central banks to control inflation, intensified by geopolitical conflicts including the war in Ukraine and tensions in Iran. The interest bill is expected to rise from 6 billion in 2025 to 6.3 billion this year and then to more than 7 billion in 2027, an amount equivalent to the planned increase in pension expenditure. Public debt reached 93% of GDP in June, and the Prime Minister reaffirmed the target to reduce it to 87.5% by year-end.
