Portugal's gross domestic product expanded 2.6 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2022, accelerating from a 1.7 advance in the previous quarter, in line with preliminary estimates. The acceleration of GDP was determined by the positive contribution of domestic demand, reflecting the acceleration of private consumption mostly due to the increase of expenditure in services’ activities, after the removal of most restrictions on economic activity imposed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The contribution of net external demand remained slightly positive. Year-on-year, the economy grew 11.9 percent, quickening from a 5.9 percent increase in Q4 mostly due to a base effect, since, in January and February 2021, several measures to mitigate the pandemic were in place that strongly conditioned economic activity. source: Statistics Portugal

Portugal Economic Growth Quickens in Q1 2022
Portugal’s GDP rose 2.6 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2022, accelerating from a revised 1.7 percent expansion in the previous quarter, a preliminary estimate showed.

Portugal GDP Growth Confirmed at 1.6% in Q4
Portugal’s GDP expended 1.6 percent quarter-on-quarter in the last three months of 2021, in line with preliminary estimates and slowing from a downwardly revised 2.8 percent expansion in the previous quarter. Net external demand was positive but its contribution to GDP growth decreased, as imports (7.0 percent vs 4.6 percent in Q3) almost offset exports (8.9 percent vs 8.8 percent). Meanwhile, growth of domestic demand lost some momentum (0.9 percent vs 1.3 percent), reflecting a softer increase in household spending (1.0 percent vs 1.7 percent), amid stronger headwinds from spending in nondurable goods. Finally, gross fixed investment rebounded strongly (3.5 percent vs -1.8 percent). On an annual basis, GDP advanced 5.8 percent, quickening from a downwardly revised 4.4 percent expansion in the third quarter. Considering 2021 as a whole, the economy of Portugal expanded 4.9 percent, rebounding from an unprecedented, downwardly revised 8.4 percent contraction in 2020.
