Context & Explainers
The INE is Portugal's National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estatística), and its housing price index measures changes in residential property prices used by policymakers, lenders and markets. That index—published regularly with monthly and quarterly releases for different housing statistics—helps legislators assess price trends and justify measures when prices are rising steadily.
Moderate-price housing (preços moderados) means homes sold with a legal maximum price set to keep certain properties affordable, often as part of public or subsidised housing programmes. These caps and eligibility rules are set by national or municipal housing authorities and can change, so buyers and renters should check the local municipality or the national housing institute for current limits and rules.
