The Fitch agency raised Portugal's rating to A+, matching Standard & Poor's, but the article criticizes that these assessments do not reflect the population's well-being. It highlights that real estate prices in Portugal have risen 99% since the end of 2019, more than three times the eurozone average, evidencing a housing affordability crisis that particularly affects young people and the middle class. Although the financial system is protected by strict credit granting rules imposed since 2018, the disparity between the praised macroeconomic performance and the suffocating housing pressure shows that rating agencies only measure the solvency of the State and banks, not the citizens' quality of life. The author concludes that the government prioritizes foreign investors over the Portuguese.
