In the specialty hearing, Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento referred to the “amendment proposals that the different parliamentary groups have already presented or will present during the day [Friday],” noting that it is up to the deputies to decide whether to maintain the Budget as proposed, with a surplus of 0.1% of GDP that allows “execution of 0.8% of GDP in PRR loans,” or if they prefer not to have a surplus.
Last year, a record number of amendment proposals was also achieved, with parties submitting 2,123 proposals.
The Government submitted the OE2026 to parliament on October 9, the day before the deadline and three days before the municipal elections.
In the macroeconomic scenario, the PSD/CDS-PP Government forecasts a GDP growth of 2% this year and 2.3% in 2026.
The executive aims to achieve surpluses of 0.3% of GDP this year and 0.1% next year. As for the debt ratio, it estimates a reduction to 90.2% of GDP in 2025 and 87.8% in 2026.
The proposal was approved in general on October 28, and the final global vote is scheduled for November 27.
