Current account balance

The name at the source «Current account balance - 3 year average»

What this number is

It is the difference between what Portugal received from the rest of the world and what it paid to it, in goods, services and income, averaged over the last three years and as a percentage of GDP, the value of everything the country produces in a year. Positive means the country received more than it paid.

Up from 2024. For the European Commission, a balance below −4 % or above 6 % is a sign of a possible imbalance: Portugal is between the two.

1,4 % of GDP (three-year average)
