Portugal continues to be an attractive target for investment. The stock of foreign direct investment more than doubled in the past 15 years, reaching 70% of GDP in 2022. Portugal's favourable geographical position, educated workforce and high share of renewables in its energy mix make it an appealing destination, particularly amidst global supply chain reconfigurations due to ongoing events such as the war in Ukraine.

Another aspect to consider, the disbursement of the Next Generation EU Funds, a key driver of Portugal's growth, is set to accelerate. These funds, amounting to circa EUR22 billion and with over EUR13 billion yet to be allocated, are expected to further stimulate economic growth through infrastructure development and reforms.
