The Bank of Portugal published updated public debt statistics for October 2025, reporting that general government debt on a Maastricht basis fell by EUR 11.2bn to EUR 283.1bn.

Deposit liabilities increased by EUR 0.3bn, driven by household investment in savings certificates. General government deposit assets totalled EUR 25.2bn, down EUR 14.0bn from September, and net of these deposits public debt rose by EUR 2.8bn to EUR 258.0bn.
