Top of the Agenda: what not to miss in the markets and economy this Thursday

Jornal Económico10 September 2026 at 07:05

Thursday, September 10, marks the date when there will be exactly one month left until the last day for submitting the State Budget proposal for 2027 to the Assembly of the Republic. This is the highlight of the economic and political agenda for the day. The Public Finance Council is scheduled to publish its macroeconomic forecasts underlying the SB proposal for the next year on October 9.

The National Statistics Institute (INE) releases on this date the Consumer Price Index for the month of August. This indicator is fundamental for evaluating the evolution of inflation in Portugal and is one of the most closely watched economic data by markets and analysts.

In Porto, the Sonae Education Prize conference is held at the Serralves Foundation, at 2:30 PM, which will discuss the impact of artificial intelligence in education and announce the winners of the 2026 edition. The event brings together experts and leaders from the education sector to discuss the future of education in Portugal.

The Police Professionals' Union also meets this Thursday to schedule new nationwide protests. The agents are demanding protests against the lack of response from the Government regarding their labor claims.

Moderate tax burden, but high fiscal effort

Portugal does not stand out in the European Union for having a particularly high tax burden as a percentage of GDP, ranking only 20th. However, when the tax burden is analyzed in relation to the Portuguese people's contributory capacity — measured by their relative standard of living — the country has the 6th highest fiscal effort in the EU, precisely because the standard of living has fallen to the 6th lowest, according to new population data released by Statistics Portugal (INE). The comparison with Eastern European countries reinforces this conclusion, with Portugal having been overtaken by several of them in terms of standard of living and losing part of the fiscal advantage it previously maintained.
