Comparison of Portugal's Inflation Rate with the Euro Area
In a daily podcast produced by Expresso, economist and journalist Tomás Delfim delves into the current state of inflation in the Eurozone and Portugal.
Titled "Economia Dia a Dia", the podcast is a go-to source for those seeking insightful analysis on economic issues. Hosted by Tomás Delfim, each episode is broadcasted daily, providing listeners with up-to-date information on the economy.
According to the latest data, inflation in Portugal is on the rise. In July 2025, the country's inflation rate decreased slightly to 2.1%, but this is still higher than the Eurozone average. In contrast, the broader Eurozone inflation held steady at around 2.0% year-on-year in July 2025, consistent with the European Central Bank's target.
Eurostat data confirms that the Eurozone's inflation remained stable, with food, alcohol & tobacco, services, and non-energy industrial goods contributing most to the rate. Energy inflation showed a mild negative trend, indicating a decrease in energy prices.
Portugal, however, faces persistent core inflation pressures. This is especially true in the services and tourism sectors, where labor shortages and robust demand are driving up prices. As a result, Portugal's inflation is somewhat higher and more persistent in core sectors than the Eurozone average.
Despite these differences, the Eurozone inflation remains moderate and aligned with ECB targets. This stability in the Eurozone is reflected in the latest data, which indicates that inflation is stabilizing.
In addition to his role as a journalist, Tomás Delfim is also a sound designer. His podcast, "Economia Dia a Dia", reflects this versatility, offering a professional and engaging listening experience for its audience.
