The Portuguese Government anticipates that the economic measures already adopted and which will continue to be reflected in the public accounts in 2027 will have an impact of €4.783 billion next year. This figure refers only to the cumulative effect of policies already in force, without including any new measures that may be included in the State Budget for 2027.
The measures underpinning this estimate have already been taken previously and their effects on the public accounts extend into the next budgetary year. The figure of €4.783 billion therefore represents the financial impact that these past decisions will continue to have on the country's fiscal management.
This scenario arises in the context of the preparation of the OE2027, the document that will define the State's revenues and expenditures for the following year. The estimate indicates that the decisions already made by the Executive will have a significant weight on the public accounts of the next year, influencing the budgetary balance that the Government may achieve.
The mentioned figure does not include new policies that may be announced in the next budget, suggesting that the total impact may be higher should additional measures be introduced in the 2027 budget document.
