Study coordinated by Passos Coelho identifies the main brake on Portugal's growth

SOL11 September 2026 at 09:24

The former Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho coordinated a study that also includes the participation of Sérgio Sousa Pinto and Nuno Botelho. The work seeks to explain the reasons why Portugal continues to fail to converge with the more developed economies in Europe.

The study identified the main brake on the country's economic growth. The first conclusions reveal the existence of various blockages that feed each other mutually, creating a cycle that hinders Portugal's development.

This research comes in a context where the country has faced persistent difficulties in keeping pace with the growth rate of the more advanced economies of the European Union.
