Briefings
A Santander study reveals that one in four Portuguese companies expects revenue loss in 2027 amid global inflation and geopolitical tensions. While 59% of global companies anticipate growth, Portuguese firms are more cautious, with 25% foreseeing a 2027 revenue shortfall. The study highlights that 33% of Portuguese companies expect more than half of their revenue to come from international markets, driven by a desire to diversify beyond the EU. Key risks cited include inflation, skilled labor shortages, and energy costs, while geopolitical instability remains a top concern for long-term growth.
