DBRS upgrades Portugal's economic outlook to positive
The credit rating agency DBRS has maintained Portugal's 'A (high)' rating while upgrading its outlook from stable to positive. This decision reflects expectations that the country's debt-to-GDP ratio will continue to decline, supported by prudent fiscal management and favorable economic growth dynamics.
DBRS Morningstar is a Canadian credit-rating agency that assesses sovereign and corporate creditworthiness; its ratings influence investor confidence and borrowing costs. In January 2025 DBRS upgraded Portugal to A (high) with a stable outlook, kept that rating in a July 2025 review, and most recently chose not to change it — a signal that creditors see Portugal’s finances as relatively solid.
