Context & Explainers

The State guarantee for young people’s mortgages is a targeted government scheme—a €1.2 billion guarantee line launched about a year ago—designed to help younger buyers obtain mortgage credit by lowering bank risk. By the end of November banks had drawn €626 million, so young residents and first‑time buyers may find it easier to secure loans, though banks still set final eligibility and terms.

Euribor (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) is the benchmark interest rate at which European banks lend to one another and is widely used as the reference for variable‑rate mortgages in Portugal. Changes affect monthly payments directly: the recent figures reported were 2.034% (3‑month), 2.104% (6‑month) and 2.255% (12‑month), so a rising Euribor typically increases costs for borrowers with tracker or variable loans.
