The Bank of Portugal published updated public debt statistics for September 2025, reporting that Maastricht public debt rose by EUR 6.0 billion during the month to EUR 294.3 billion and stood at 97.6% of GDP in the third quarter. The monthly increase reflected higher long-term debt securities (up EUR 5.7 billion) and savings certificates (up EUR 0.5 billion), partly offset by a decline in Treasury certificates (down EUR 0.1 billion). General government deposit assets totalled EUR 39.2 billion, up EUR 10.0 billion from August, and net of those deposits public debt fell by EUR 4.0 billion to EUR 255.2 billion. The Q3 debt-to-GDP ratio increased by 0.8 percentage points versus the end of the previous quarter. The next update is scheduled for 2 December 2025.
