The Portuguese economy advanced by 0.3 percent on quarter in the three months to September 2019, slowing from an upwardly revised 0.6 percent expansion in the previous period, a preliminary estimate showed. It was the weakest growth rate since the second quarter of 2016.

The positive contribution of domestic demand remained unchanged, as private consumption accelerated, while investment advanced at a slower pace.
