Comparison of the gross debt per capita with the European Union in Euro
Portugal European UnionBudget deficit in Portugal
The budget deficit of a country is the result of all its claims and liabilities. This includes incomes and expenses, repayments and building of new debts in other countries, but also domestic positions of the government, such as social insurances, local authorities and communities. It is the financial balance of the economic accounts. In simple terms: If a country at the end of the year has more money, than at at the beginning, it is a surplus - it is less, it is called deficit.
The budget deficit in Portugal in the period between 1998 and 2018 varied between 912.80 million Euro and 20.10 billion Euro. In 2018 was reached a balance of -913 million Euro.
In ratio to population, this equals a new indebtedness of 89 Euro per capita in Portugal only in 2018. For comparison, the average debt per capita in the European Union was in the same year at 222 Euro.
