Public debt interest will cost an additional 2 million euros per day in 2027

Correio da Manhã2 September 2026 at 01:30

The Portuguese government expects that public debt interest will cost an additional 2 million euros per day in 2027. This value represents a significant increase in the State's financial charges.

According to the State Budget forecasts for 2027, the government will spend an additional 776 million euros on public debt charges. This value represents a substantial increase in the costs associated with sovereign debt interest payments.

The increase of 2 million euros per day reflects the growing trajectory of Portuguese public debt charges in recent years, in a context of rising interest rates and accumulated debt stock. This increase has a direct impact on public finances and limits the available budgetary space for other expenditures.

Fintechs increase GDP by R$ 1.6 trillion in ten years and reduce costs with fees by R$ 149 billion, says study

A study by the Reglab research center, commissioned by Zetta (which brings together the country's largest fintechs, such as Nubank, Mercado Pago, and PicPay), revealed that digital financial institutions added R$ 1.6 trillion to Brazil's GDP between 2016 and 2026. Without fintechs, GDP in the first quarter of 2026 would be 2.2% lower, with emphasis on an increase of R$ 982 billion in consumption and R$ 371 billion in investments during the period. The research also calculated savings of R$ 149 billion for families and businesses in costs related to interest rates and bank fees, with R$ 102 billion referring to interest and the remainder to service charges. The analysis used a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) structural model.
