Portugal's steady growth is keeping global investors interested

As Portugal moves into 2026, its economic future looks bright, making it attractive to international investors. The Forum for Competitiveness predicts GDP growth of 2% to 2.3%, thanks to local spending, investment, and a stable money situation.

Experts also mention Portugal's strong financial results, expecting a budget surplus. This boosts trust in the country's economic stability over time.

Given this positive outlook, Mercan Properties Group is growing its business in Portugal, showing its belief in the market by continuing to invest in hotels. The group, which has been in Portugal since 2015, has drawn in international money through hotel projects in key areas.

Mercan's investment plan for the long run focuses on fixing up cities, creating jobs, and boosting tourism, which fits well with Portugal's economic goals and regional growth plans.

With global investors increasingly looking for stable and predictable growth, Portugal is still in a good spot as a place to invest for the long haul in 2026 and later.
