The government estimated this Monday, without new measures, that the budget surplus this year will be 0.3% of GDP, slightly above the 0.2% recorded in the state budget but below the 0.8% projected in the Democratic Alliance’s election program ( HELL).
The forecast is contained in the Stability Program (PE) for the period 2024-2028, sent this Monday by the executive led by Luis Montenegro to Parliament and which will be sent to the European Commission by the end of the month.
The stability program is based on a unchanged policy scenario and therefore does not yet account for the impact of new policies such as the announced IRS cuts.
The Treasury forecasts a budget surplus of 0.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) this year and in 2025, followed by 0.1% in 2026, 0.6% in 2027 and 0.4% in 2028.
