Galp reported a 68 percent increase in third-quarter net profit to 682 million euros, boosted by elevated crude oil prices and refining margins. The earnings announcement, filed with the Securities Market Commission (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários or CMVM), comes as Eurostat figures show transport fuel prices in Portugal rose 30.3 percent year-on-year in September. Across the European Union, fuel prices increased by an average of 31.4 percent over the same period.

Context & Explainers

The CMVM is Portugal's securities market regulator (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários), which supervises stock markets, investment firms and investor protection. The CMVM will shortly present a proposal to the Government for Savings and Investment Accounts (CPI), so investors should follow the proposal for changes to retail investment options.
