Portugal sees debt cost worsen: 1.6 billion euros raised at rates above 3%

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 12:59

Portugal returned to the debt market with an issuance that raised 1.6 billion euros at rates above 3%, in a context of strong turbulence in the financial markets. The Institute for Treasury and Public Credit Management (IGCP), the entity responsible for managing Portuguese public debt, carried out this operation.

The interest rate applied in this nine-year issuance was set at 3.632%, which represents the highest rate since March 2017. This value reflects the worsening financing conditions for Portugal in the current context of market uncertainty.

The operation took place amid turbulence in the markets, which contributed to the increase in the cost of Portuguese financing. The IGCP's return to the debt market comes at a time when investors require higher returns to invest in Portuguese debt securities.

Maternity Pay: Federal Revenue Blocks Fraud Attempt and R$ 1 Billion Loss to Social Security

Brazil's Federal Revenue Service thwarted a scheme estimated at R$ 1 billion targeting public funds through fraud in the maternity pay benefit. Shell companies and suspicious organizations filed improper reimbursement claims alleging payments to insured individuals who do not have children. The reimbursement in question refers to cases where the company advances maternity pay to employees covered by the General Social Security System, with the right to subsequent compensation. The investigations revealed companies with only one employee, near-zero revenue, absence of compatible tax records, and requests for atypical amounts, constituting an organized pattern of improper appropriation of public funds.
