A week after the troika was reported to be seriously querying the government’s financial forecasts for 2015, news comes that Portugal’s public debt exceeded the limit set for 2014 nearly two months ago.
The €225.15 billion registered in September was already €5.9 billion more than the Treasury had calculated, UTAO (the budgetary technical support unit) reported on Monday.
The figure sees a €9.9 billion increase on Portugal’s public debt of last year.
