“ Portugal has to prepare to dedicate a larger portion of the State Budget [OE] to public investment ", said Castro Almeida, in Lisbon, at the press conference where the execution of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) was announced 100%.
The governor classified as “a fatality” the fact that public investment has lived from European funds, arguing that it is positive for the country to devote a larger share of the OE to this area.
“ There will be less money from European funds,” he insisted.
