In time of a "new reality", Government should "make available" additional revenues generated by inflation

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 23:18

Mário Centeno, in his usual commentary space "O Trigo do Joio", addressed the theme of a "new reality" related to the economy. At the center of this new reality, natural gas appears as "the main cause for concern", according to Centeno's analysis.

The Governor of the Bank of Portugal also spoke about the management of public revenues, defending that the Government should "make available" additional revenues that were generated by inflation. This position arises in the context of a broader debate on how to deal with current economic challenges.

Centeno's commentary comes at a time when concerns about energy costs and the impact of inflation on the Portuguese economy continue to dominate economic discourse. The Governor's intervention comes in his regular commentary space, where he usually addresses relevant issues for national economic policy.

Why this matters

Readers are affected because the additional revenues from inflation could be used to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices. Centeno's mention of natural gas as the main concern suggests that energy costs continue to pressure the economy, potentially influencing government decisions on taxation and social support.

The price of what we don't learn

Portugal achieved its worst-ever results in PISA 2025, with mathematics at 460 points and reading at 462, similar to 2006 levels, wiping out two decades of progress since 2015. The article argues that this decline is not due to lack of funding — Portugal spends 4.3% of GDP on education, above the European average — but rather to poor resource allocation and the inability to transform investment into effective learning. It also highlights that socioeconomic inequality explains 17% of the variation in mathematics results, with 53% of disadvantaged students failing to reach minimum proficiency. Warning that this represents a cost to the country's competitiveness and productivity, the article concludes that the problem cannot be solved with more money, but with strategy, clear targets, and reform.

Solar sector with BESS should reduce costs by 40% in Brazil

The solar energy sector combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS) should reduce its operational costs in Brazil by up to 40% over the next decade, according to a study by McKinsey & Company presented in São Paulo. The consultancy projects that the Levelized Cost of Firm Energy (Firm LCOE) will drop from $65/MWh to $39/MWh by 2035, making Brazil the second country with the lowest firm energy cost in the world, behind only China. The high tariffs charged by utility companies drive the migration to self-generation, and McKinsey's partner in Brazil, Mikael Djanian, highlights the country's competitiveness in the global scenario.
