About this series
The general government deficit series records the period's fiscal balance under the source's accounting and sign convention. A deficit indicates a shortfall; the series is a flow, not a debt stock. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.
Portugal's general government deficit reading was 0.7% of GDP in 2025. The period change from 0.6% of GDP in 2024 was +0.1 percentage points. The latest reading was above the selected 10-year average of −1.17% of GDP.
