Traders in the Elevador da Glória area say they continue to suffer impacts from the accident on their business

TVI Notícias3 September 2026 at 22:43

The traders in the Elevador da Glória area, in Lisbon, claim to continue suffering negative impacts on their businesses due to an accident that occurred at the infrastructure. The accident affected the commercial dynamics of the surrounding area, leading to a decrease in clientele and local economic activity.

Despite the difficulties faced by these traders, the tourist data for the first half of the year presents a more positive perspective for the Portuguese capital. Overnight stays in Lisbon increased in the period under analysis, indicating growth in the tourism sector in the city.

Revenue in Lisbon's tourism sector also grew compared to the same period last year. However, this positive trend contrasts with the specific situation of traders located in the Elevador da Glória area, who have not felt the benefits of this overall increase in tourism.

European Union without immediate risk of gas supply despite low reserves

The European Commission announced that, although EU gas storage levels are below those recorded in previous years, there is no immediate risk to energy supply security. The Gas Coordination Group's assessment indicates that the EU is more prepared than in 2021 and 2022, thanks to the diversification of supply sources, increased LNG import capacity and reduced demand. However, instability in the Middle East keeps Qatar's LNG production suspended, and heat waves in Europe increased gas demand for electricity production, causing price volatility. Portugal stands out with 93.08% of reserves full, one of the highest rates in the EU. A new group meeting is scheduled for September 24.

The PRR and its scrutiny

Portugal completed the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) with the Government's guarantee that it fulfilled 100% of the milestones and targets agreed with Brussels, securing €16.3 billion in grants and planning to execute around €5.6 billion in loans. The article highlights that although financial execution is a positive result in a country with historical difficulties in applying European funds, administratively fulfilling a plan does not equate to economically transforming the country. It points to the need for independent assessment of the real impact of the €21.9 billion investment on productivity, competitiveness and growth capacity, warning that the Bank of Portugal anticipates an economic slowdown after the PRR boost and that the European Court of Auditors identified transparency limitations. The article argues that the end of the PRR must mark the beginning of rigorous scrutiny of concrete results.

Sovereign debt in turmoil

The conflict in the Middle East is driving a new escalation in oil prices, approaching 100 dollars, which is fueling inflationary pressures and anticipates further interest rate hikes in September by the ECB and the Fed. Sovereign bond yields have surged in the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, and Japan, reaching 15-year highs, with massive bond sales by investors. Portugal, although not an exception and having seen debt yields rise to their highest level in a decade, is considered by the DBRS rating agency as one of the least affected countries, protected by positive economic dynamics, no longer belonging to the former PIIGS risk group. Now it is other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, and France (BIF), that are facing market pressure, in a context of fear of global stagflation.
