The wealth of Portuguese families fell 1.6%, according to the data mentioned in the article. This figure reflects a decrease in the net assets of families in the period analyzed.
The economy shows distinct signs, according to the published information. On one hand, Portuguese indebtedness is growing, which indicates that families are taking on more debt.
This increase in indebtedness exceeds the appreciation of their assets. This means that family assets are not appreciating at the same rate as their payment obligations.
In contrast, the country's public debt is decreasing, which represents a positive evolution in the State's accounts compared to the situation of families.
