Portugal raises 1.6 billion with debt cost soaring

Eco9 September 2026 at 10:52

Portugal raised more than 1.6 billion euros from investors this Wednesday, marking its return to the debt market after summer. The issuance took place amid global tension, which was reflected in a significant increase in the cost of Portuguese debt. The operation aimed to raise funds from international investors in a context of uncertainty in global financial markets.

Portugal's financing costs soar to highs at 1.6 billion euro debt auction

Portugal saw public financing costs soar to highs in recent debt auctions, with the Treasury and Public Debt Management Agency (IGCP) placing €1.628 billion through three Treasury Bond issuances, registering a generalized rise in interest rates across all maturities — at nine years yields rose to 3.632%, at eight years to 3.559% and at four years to 3.122%. The trend reflects a volatile global scenario driven by the Middle East conflict, prospects of further interest rate hikes by the ECB and the impact of the war in Ukraine on fuel and grain prices, with Portuguese debt yields reaching their highest value since April 2017. Analysts consider that fiscal risks, persistent inflation and growing financing needs will continue to pressure risk premiums, although Eurozone peripheral spreads should remain stabilized, in contrast to the vulnerability shown by France.
