About This Report

  
Abstract:

GDP increased by just 0.1% on the quarter in Q1, a third consecutive quarter of marginal growth. Although the expenditure breakdown is not yet available, the statistical agency has hinted that net exports were a drag on growth, in particular due to falling export volumes. Domestic demand, mainly consumer spending, is estimated to have driven the economy in Q1. We envisage that growth should accelerate through the course of this year as domestic demand gains impetus and the outlook for net exports becomes less negative. But the worse-than-expected performance in Q1 has prompted us to revise down our growth forecast for this year to 1.1% from 1.4% previously.The banking sector may increase Portugals public deficit-to-GDP ratio for a third consecutive year as the capital shortfall of the public bank Caixa Geral de Depositos is expected to be plugged by taxpayers.
