The fiscal and pension measures announced by Prime Minister Luís Montenegro may represent an increase in the disposable income of Portuguese families, according to an economist consulted by the publication.

The article does not detail specifically which IRS or pension measures were announced by Montenegro's government, but positions its analysis in a context of balance between support for families and the sustainability of public accounts.
