Context & Explainers

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that tracks the average change over time in the prices paid by households for a fixed basket of goods and services. Portugal’s statistics office (INE) reported the CPI rose by 2.3% last year (0.1 percentage points less than in 2024), and this figure helps expats understand changes in cost of living, rent indexing and adjustments to wages or benefits.

It remains influential in some trade unions and local councils, usually wins single-digit percentages in national elections, and often runs as part of the CDU coalition with the Greens. Voters and those tracking coalition-building should note the PCP’s capacity to mobilise grassroots support and influence left-wing alliances.
