Portugal's debt interest bill will cost an additional 776 million euros in 2027

Jornal de Negócios1 September 2026 at 15:04

Portugal will see the public debt interest bill worsen by 776 million euros in the year 2027. This information was conveyed by the Ministry of Finance to Parliament.

The increase occurs during a worldwide "sell-off" of bonds, that is, during a period of massive sale of debt securities in international markets. This global economic context contributes to the worsening of the country's financing conditions.

The Finance Ministry admits that public expenditure on debt interest will increase again next year, which represents an additional challenge for Portuguese public accounts. This projection of increased expenditure comes at a time of greater tension in global bond markets.

Portugal is among the least affected countries in the Eurozone by the rise in debt costs, DBRS assures

The rating agency DBRS stated that Portugal, Greece, and Spain are the Eurozone countries least affected by the increase in sovereign financing costs, protected by positive dynamics in economic growth, indebtedness, and budgetary accounts. DBRS's analysis indicates that, although financing costs have increased significantly in the eurozone, the impact on interest payments for these three countries will be modest, with variations of only 0.1 percentage points of GDP in Portugal and Spain, and even a reduction of 0.2 percentage points in Greece between 2025 and 2030. The agency forecasts that strong economic growth and primary surpluses will contribute to a continuous decrease in public debt ratios to GDP in these countries.
