INE reveals surprising budget surplus for 2025, exceeding forecasts

INE will release the 2025 budget balance, with a budget surplus of between 0.5% and 1% of GDP, above the 0.3% predicted by Miranda Sarmento. Without extraordinary expenses, such as support for Ukraine and supplements for pensioners, it would be above 1%. Numbers contradict Mário Centeno, who predicted a deficit in 2025.
