O minister of Economics and Territorial Cohesion, Castro Almeida, today in Lisbon acknowledged that next year Portugal will remain a net beneficiary of the European Union, requiring that the country will receive 6,600 million euros.
“ Financial flows with the European Union show that Portugal is still a net beneficiary,” said Castro Almeida, who spoke at a hearing at the Assembly of the Republic in Lisbon, in the context of the discussion of the State Budget for 2027 (OE2027).
According to the figures advanced by the ruler, next year, Portugal will receive 6,600 million euros in European funds.
In turn, the country will transfer EUR 3,500 million, which means that Portugal will benefit from EUR 3,100 million.
As the Minister for Economic Affairs pointed out, 75% of this benefit concerns the Portugal 2030 programme and the remaining amount, essentially, the Strategic Plan for the Common Agricultural Policy (PEPAC).
