In past years, Portugal was on the radar for all the wrong reasons, primarily due to the accrued debt problem, but also due to the consequences of the lack of structural projects or investment. Now things seem to have changed and 2023 looks like a promising year.
Not only is Portugal the furthest European country from the war in Ukraine, but it is also one of the countries least impacted by that war, as it does not depend materially on Russian gas and has other sources of supply. As a consequence, energy prices have not climbed as much as in the rest of Europe and Portugal seems to be one place where energy prices will be more attractive in the future.
