O secretary-General of the PSD, Hugo Soares, said today at the Palace of São Bento in Lisbon that the State Budget for 2027 will present “great numbers”, but left an appeal to the parties, asking them to remember that we are not “in time of adventures”.
“ Today's world is a world that lives in shock, we have conflicts that have caused prices to rise, which affect the daily lives of families and businesses. That's not why it's a time of adventure. It is a time of stability and predictability,” he said, saying that this represents a “call for party responsibility”.
The PSD met with the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs as part of the presentation of the State Budget for next year.
At the end of the meeting, the PSD Secretary-General said that the meeting represents “the beginning of the conversation with the government at a time when the OE is final, before the discussion and voting process”.
He predicted that “great numbers” will be presented by the government which, by the way, defended “are already known”. As for measures that might be presented, he preferred to leave a message of “stability”.
After the PSD, the government even meets today with the CDS, the Free, the PCP and the Left Block.
What do you expect?
The government and the parties are discussing the state budget proposal for 2027, and some figures have already been revealed showing what the Executive anticipates for next year.
The parliamentary leader of Cávez, Pedro Pinto, revealed that the government plans for 2027 a budget surplus of 0.2% of gross domestic product (GDP) and an economic growth of “2% for next year, in the path of what has happened in recent years”.
Later, PS parliamentary leader Eurico Brilhante Dias said that the government estimates for 2027 an average inflation “practically identical” to that of 2026 and that will be considered in the next Budget an appropriation for RRP projects to be completed.
Brilliant Dias, however, did not advance any expected value by the government, but only that in recent months inflation has been between 3% and 3.4% in homologous terms.
The Public Finance Council (CFP) estimates a growth of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) this year to 3.2% in a context of fuel price rise driven by the war in the Middle East.
