Segundo o Boletim Económico divulgado hoje, esta projeção reflete a "incorporação de novas medidas, no âmbito do pacote da habitação (0,1% do PIB), dos apoios a famílias e empresas afetadas pelas tempestades e das decorrentes despesas de reconstrução (0,4% do PIB) e da mitigação do aumento dos preços da energia (0,1% do PIB)".

"Apesar da deterioração na situação orçamental, Portugal mantém-se como um dos poucos países da área do euro com um saldo orçamental próximo do equilíbrio ou em excedente", lê-se no documento.

Já a dívida pública deverá continuar a trajetória de redução, para 85,7% do PIB este ano, 82,5% em 2027 e 79,5% em 2028, segundo as estimativas do banco central.
