Portugal Current Account

Portugal’s current account recorded a deficit of €68.8 million in November 2025, compared to a surplus of €201.3 million in the same month last year. The trade deficit deteriorated by €101 million, reflecting weaker exports alongside higher imports, with transport-related goods accounting for a €85.4 million rise in imports. Meanwhile, the surplus in secondary income narrowed by €118 million, driven by increased contributions from Portugal to the European Union, which rose by €144.8 million. The primary income deficit also widened by €51 million, largely due to higher property income attributable to non-residents.
