Portugal Inflation Rate (1960–2025)

Overview

Portugal's inflation rate stood at 2.16% in 2025, a decline of +0.25pp from 2024. The IMF projects 2.16% by 2025. Portugal ranked 126th globally.

Portugal's inflation rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, ranging from a low of -0.84% in 2009 to a high of 31.02% in 1977. The latter, which occurred during a period of economic crisis and currency devaluation, highlights the country's vulnerability to external economic shocks. In contrast, the current inflation rate of 2.16% ranks Portugal 126th globally, placing it among the more stable economies in the region. This stability is comparable to peer countries such as Andorra and Germany, which also maintain low inflation rates. Although Portugal's inflation rate has been relatively stable in recent years, a rise in global energy prices or a decline in the country's economic competitiveness could potentially push the inflation rate higher. A sustained increase in productivity and economic growth would be necessary to maintain the current low inflation trajectory and support Portugal's economic stability.
