Portugal’s economy continues to demonstrate resilience as the country enters 2026 with a positive growth outlook. Recent forecasts on the Portugal’s Forum for Competitiveness indicates that GDP is expected to grow between 2% and 2.3% this year, supported by domestic consumption, investment, and a stable financial environment.

Economic analysts also highlight Portugal’s strong fiscal performance, with expectations of a budget surplus, reinforcing confidence in the country’s long-term economic stability.

Within this positive context, Mercan Properties Group continues to strengthen its presence in Portugal, reaffirming its confidence in the market through sustained investment in the hospitality sector. Active in Portugal since 2015, the group has played a key role in attracting international capital, particularly through hospitality development projects in strategic locations.

Mercan’s investment strategy focuses on long-term value creation, contributing to urban rehabilitation, job creation, and the enhancement of tourism infrastructure across multiple regions. This approach aligns closely with Portugal’s economic priorities and supports balanced regional development.

As international investors seek stable and high-potential markets, Portugal remains well positioned as a preferred destination. Consistent growth forecasts and continued private investment reinforce a positive outlook for 2026 and beyond.
