What this number is
It is how much net public expenditure grew in a year: the expenditure that leaves out interest on the debt, spending financed by European funds and the spending that rises and falls with unemployment, as computed by the Public Finance Council.
It grew less than in 2024. Portugal committed, in a commitment endorsed by the Council of the European Union, not to let it grow by more than 5 % in 2025: it grew more than that.
