Eurostat pencils Portugal at 81% of the EU average in 2025 GDP per capita. Recalculated against INE's confirmed 11,424,031 residents, that drops to 76.2% — and from 18th to 22nd of 27 member states. More people, the same output, a thinner per-head slice.

INE's 12 June release confirms Portugal's CPI held at 3.3% year-on-year in May for a second consecutive month, with underlying inflation stuck at 2.2%, energy prices accelerating to 13.1% and unprocessed food decelerating to 5.7%. The IHPC now runs 0.1 percentage points below the eurozone.
