  • What is the DBRS rating and economic outlook for Switzerland in 2025?

    What is the DBRS rating and economic outlook for Switzerland in 2025? - Portugal Business News News Economy Europe – Here is Switzerland’s credit rating in 2025, including its Economic Outlook, fiscal position,   public debt ratio   forecast, GDP growth   forecast, Net International Investment Position, as well as the resilience of Switzerland’s banking system and house prices forecast, according to the DBRS July 2025 report:     Switzerland’s Credit Rating for foreign & local currency according to the DBRS July 2025 announcement:   Switzerland’s credit rating according to the Morningstar DBRS announcement on July 18 th , 2025, is AAA with a stable outlook both for long-term foreign and local currency.   Switzerland’s credit rating according to the Morningstar DBRS announcement on July 18 th , 2025, is R-1 (high) with a stable outlook both for short-term foreign and local currency.     Switzerland’s Economic Outlook according to the DBRS in July 2025:   The confirmation of the Stable trend reflects Morningstar DBRS' view that the risks to Switzerland's credit ratings remain limited, despite a challenging external environment.   Switzerland's AAA credit ratings remain underpinned by its wealthy and diversified economy, sound public finances, and solid external position. Strong institutions, predictable policies, and historical neutrality have long made Switzerland a safe haven for investors. Switzerland benefits from a highly productive workforce, high levels of educational attainment and labor force participation.     Switzerland’s fiscal position according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Switzerland's prudent fiscal policy, underpinned by its debt brake rule, and its low public debt ratio constitute an important credit strength. Under the debt brake rule, higher expenditures are financed by increased revenues or corresponding expenditure cuts. The debt break, which was introduced in 2003 at the federal level, mandates a balanced budget over the business cycle.     Switzerland’s public debt ratio forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   According to the IMF, the general gross debt should continue to slightly decrease in the coming years, reaching 35.1% of GDP in 2027 versus 37.6% in 2024. The public debt ratio, as defined in the Maastricht Treaty, stood at 25.5% of GDP at year-end 2024.   Switzerland's prudent fiscal policy anchored by its debt brake rule has helped maintain low debt levels, supporting the country's resilience to shocks and helps the country to stand out among other highly rated sovereigns. All debt is denominated in local currency. With government bond yields decreasing since the beginning of 2023, interest expenditures should remain extremely low and are anticipated at 0.1% of GDP for the general government by the IMF by 2027.     Switzerland’s GDP growth forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Switzerland’s GDP per capita is estimated at USD 104,523 in 2025, one of the highest in the world.  The Swiss economy is one of most competitive globally and benefits from a highly productive workforce, characterized by a very educated labor force and elevated labor force participation (83.9% as of Q1 2025), and internationally competitive industries and companies.   Switzerland's economic activity moderated in 2024, with real GDP growth (sports events adjusted) coming in at 1.0% from 1.2% in 2023, mainly reflecting subdued foreign trade despite strong domestic demand. While the Swiss Federal Expert Group on Business Cycles anticipated real GDP growth (sports events adjusted) of 1.5% for 2025 and 1.7% for 2026 in December 2024, it has revised down its forecasts to 1.3% for 2025 and 1.2% for 2026. This downward revision reflects the assumption that the global economy is expected to grow at a slower pace, due to international trade tensions and economic uncertainty, which is likely to dampen cyclically exposed sectors of the Swiss export industry.     Switzerland’s Net International Investment Position according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Switzerland benefits from a large net international investment asset position (NIIP) amounting to 119.3% of GDP in Q1 2025.  This reflects the substantial accumulated net wealth of Swiss residents and official reserves. Switzerland's total reserve assets rose from USD 341 billion in 2011 to USD 1,111 billion in 2021 and stood at USD 912 billion in 2024 or close to 100% of GDP.     What is the resilience of Switzerland’s banking system according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   The Swiss banking sector is one of the most important pillars of the Swiss economy accounting for around 5% of value added, however its size, which is nearly 420% of GDP, means that shocks to banks, especially if systemically important, can have more pronounced effects on the economy.   Following the review of the Credit Suisse case, the Swiss Federal Council proposed in June 2025 several measures to increase capital requirements for systemically important banks with foreign subsidiaries and to strengthen liquidity in a time of crisis while improving resolution planning through additional requirements on the recovery and resolution of systemically important banks. The consultation process for the legislative amendments will be opened in autumn 2025 and in the first half of 2026 respectively. The entry into force is expected for 2028 at the earliest.     What is Switzerland’s house prices forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Morningstar DBRS considers that the exposure of Swiss banks to the real estate market remains a source of vulnerability for financial stability. With lower interest rates since 2024, real estate price growth has picked up, although at a slower pace than in 2021 and 2022.   The high demand and low supply will most likely keep the housing market tight, with the risk of overheating in the market remaining.  Switzerland's household debt-to-GDP ratio remains high at 125% at the end of 2024, nevertheless risks are mitigated by the large and liquid balance sheet of households. Switzerland's high mortgage debt, the contingent liability risks posed by its large banking sector and the banks' exposure to the real estate market weigh on the negative adjustment in the "Monetary Policy and Financial Stability" assessment.

  • What is the DBRS rating and economic outlook for Portugal in 2025?

    What is the DBRS rating and economic outlook for Portugal in 2025? - Portugal Business News News Economy Europe – Here is Portugal’s credit rating in 2025, including Portugal’s Economic Outlook, fiscal position, public debt ratio   forecast, GDP growth   forecast, EU funding amounts, Net International Investment Position, as well as the impact of US tariffs on Portugal’s exports to the US, the resilience of Portugal’s banking system and Portugal’s house prices forecast, according to the DBRS July 2025 report:     Portugal’s Credit Rating for foreign & local currency according to the DBRS July 2025 announcement:   Portugal’s credit rating according to the Morningstar DBRS announcement on July 18 th , 2025, is A (high) with a stable outlook both for long-term foreign and local currency.   Portugal’s credit rating according to the Morningstar DBRS announcement on July 18 th , 2025, is R-1 (middle) with a stable outlook both for short-term foreign and local currency.     Portugal’s Economic Outlook according to the DBRS in July 2025:   The Stable trend reflects Morningstar DBRS' view that the risks to Portugal’s credit ratings are balanced. Portugal's economic growth and fiscal balance is expected to outperform the eurozone average over the next two years, despite risks associated with escalating global trade and geopolitical tensions.     Portugal's medium-term economic growth prospects remain favorable, underpinned by the strength of domestic demand. Healthy real income growth, lower interest rates, and increased spending from Portugal's Recovery and Resilience Plan are expected to support growth in 2025 and 2026, although trade tensions and increased trade uncertainty limit growth and pose downside risks to the economic outlook.     Portugal’s fiscal position according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal's current fiscal position is among the strongest in the eurozone, posting fiscal surpluses in 2023 and 2024.   Portugal recorded a fiscal surplus of 1.2% of GDP in 2023 and 0.7% of GDP in 2024, the third and fifth best results in the eurozone, respectively.  The government projects the fiscal surplus to narrow further to 0.3% of GDP in 2025, as the increase in public wages and pensions, the further reduction of personal income tax rates, and the revision of the personal tax scheme for young people will only be partially offset by revenue growth and the unfreezing of the carbon tax and further reduction of the energy measures in 2025. Portugal's National Medium-Term Fiscal-Structural Plan 2025-2028 projects the headline fiscal surplus to narrow further to 0.1% of GDP in 2026, before increasing to 1.1% in 2027 and 1.3% in 2028.     Portugal’s public debt ratio forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal's public debt ratio declined sharply from 116.1% of GDP in 2019 to 94.9% in 2024 driven mainly by high primary surpluses and nominal output growth. The public debt ratio is on track to fall below 90.0% of GDP over the next two years, which could place Portugal's debt ratio below the eurozone average.   Portugal’s government projects that the public debt ratio will decline to 91.5% of GDP in its 2025 Annual Progress Report and fall further to 83.2% in 2028 in its 2025-2028 National Medium-Term Fiscal-Structural Plan. This decline is principally driven by the conservation of primary surpluses and nominal GDP growth. Moreover, this trend could be reinforced by the government's planned asset sales.   Similarly, the IMF projects that Portugal’s public debt ratio will decline more rapidly over the medium term to 75.8% in 2030, with an average reduction of 3.2 percentage points per year during 2025-2030.     Portugal’s GDP growth forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   The European Commission forecasts Portuguese real GDP growth of 1.8% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026, above the 0.9% and 1.4% of the euro area, respectively.  Similarly, the Bank of Portugal forecasts real GDP growth of 1.6% in 2025, weighed down by escalating global trade tensions. The central bank forecasts real GDP growth to accelerate to 2.2% in 2026 as investments benefit from the ramp-up of RRP investments and lower interest rates, before coming down to 1.7% in 2027 as the impulse from the RRP fades.     Portugal’s EU funding amounts according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal's RRP amounts to EUR 22.2 billion (8.3% of GDP of 2023's GDP) in grants and loans, which comes on top of the EUR 33.6 billion (12.6% of GDP) in grants from the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-27.     Portugal’s Net International Investment Position according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal's net international investment position (NIIP) reflects an elevated net debtor position but has improved sharply from -124.4% of GDP in 2014 to -57.6% in Q1 2025.  The improvement was driven by current account surpluses and nominal economic growth.   Similarly, Portugal’s net external debt has declined from 107.7% of GDP in 2014 to 44.0% of GDP in Q1 2025. These trends are expected to continue over the medium-term.     What is the expected impact of US tariffs on Portugal’s exports to the US according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal's good exports exposure to the US market (6.7% of goods exports) is commensurate to the eurozone one. Portugal's exposure to the U.S. market is heavier on the services side (10.3% of total service exports), which are not subject to the current tariffs.     After a small surplus of 2.2% of GDP in 2024, the IMF projects current account surpluses of 1.5% of GDP for the period 2025-2030.     What is the resilience of Portugal’s banking system according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   The Portuguese banking system weathered the succession of shocks in recent years well, supported by stronger balance sheets, government support measures, and a strong labor market. In aggregate, the Portuguese banking sector compares favorably to the European average in terms of capitalization and liquidity metrics.     What are Portugal’s house prices forecast according to the DBRS July 2025 report:   Portugal’s rapid rise of house prices, which more than doubled since the start of 2016, has continued despite tighter financial conditions in the euro area. The pass-through from lower monetary policy rates and the government support measures (e.g., benefiting young buyers) are driving a sharp recovery in mortgage lending growth, transactions, and prices in the first months of the year.

  • Which European countries have the highest GDP growth forecast in 2026?

    Which European countries have the highest GDP growth forecast in 2026? - Portugal Business News News Economy Europe – Here are the Top 10 European countries that have the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report European Economic Outlook for Spring 2025:   While the average GDP forecast in the Eurozone is expected to increase by around 0.9% in 2025 and 1.1% in 2026, there are a number of countries that are growth hotspots in Europe.   Moreover, increased Defence spending could have positive implications on Europe’s economic activity, adding around 0.3 percentage points to Europe’s GDP by 2030 in the baseline scenario. However, in the front-loaded scenario, KPMG anticipates a temporary surge of spending, which adds as much as 0.9 percentage points in Europe’s GDP for 2027.     Here are the Top 10 European countries that have the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026:   1 – Poland   Poland ranks No. 1 European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2025 and 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Poland’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 3.3% Poland’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 3.2%   Poland is performing strongly, thanks to robust domestic demand, targeted investment, and solid labor market performance.     2 – Norway   Norway ranks 2nd European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Norway’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 1.1% Norway’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 2.6%     3 – Sweden   Sweden ranks 3 rd  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Sweden’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 1.9% Sweden’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 2.3%     4 – Portugal   Portugal ranks 4 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Portugal’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 1.7% Portugal’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 2.3%     5 – Spain   Spain ranks 5 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Spain’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 2.5% Spain’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.8%   Spain is one of the growth hotspots in Europe and Spain’s growth has been driven by resilient domestic demand, strong tourism inflows, and EU-funded investment in infrastructure and green energy.  As a result, strong job creation and steady wage growth have helped support consumption despite tighter monetary conditions. However, as tourism spending returns to normal levels and the stimulus from EU-funded investment tapers off, Spain’s outlook is expected to be moderate in the medium term.     6 – Denmark   Denmark ranks 6 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Denmark’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 2.3% Denmark’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.8%   Denmark has shown solid growth helped by the activities of multinational companies and the reopening of the gas deposits at Tyra Field.     7 – Ireland   Ireland ranks 7 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Ireland’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 3.3% Ireland’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.4%   Solid domestic activity and strength in the export of services should continue to support growth in Ireland.     8 – Belgium   Belgium ranks 8 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Belgium’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 1.0% Belgium’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.2%     9 – Switzerland   Switzerland ranks 9 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Switzerland’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 0.9% Switzerland’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.2%     10 – Austria   Austria ranks 10 th  European country that has the highest GDP growth forecast for 2026, according to the latest KPMG report.   Austria’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 is -0.1% Austria’s GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 1.2%   GDP forecasts for Austria for 2026 have been revised upwards, partly due to the potential impact of higher Defence and infrastructure spending in driving momentum in the manufacturing sector.

The Shell brand is headquartered in the UK and operates in the Oil & Gas sector.   What is the meaning of the Shell brand?   The Shell brand name can be traced back to the seashells that Marcus Samuel, senior, imported from the Far East during the late 19th Century. When his sons Marcus Junior and Samuel were looking for a name for the kerosene that they were exporting to Asia, they chose Shell.   Shell’s yellow and red scallop shell logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world, but it actually started life as a black and white mussel shell. The Shell brand colors are now both yellow and red, colors that are used in maritime signaling. Samuel Junior also chose red to make his kerosene cans stand out against Standard Oil’s blue when the companies were competing back at the end of the 19th Century.   In 1930 the Shell ‘Pecten’, the Latin word for scallop, was given a more formal design and applied to packaging, signage and vehicles. The early 90s introduced the current colors of the Shell brand image: a warmer yellow and red to soften the feel of our brand and give it a broader appeal.   The Sound of the Shell brand   In 2015, the Shell logo was associated to an orchestral score, the Sound of Shell, a sound that is fast becoming as recognizable as the scallop logo for customers.     5 – The BMW brand The BMW brand - Portugal Business News   The BMW brand is the 5th Most Valuable Brand in Europe in 2025 with a brand valuation of 38.118 billion euros.

The Porsche brand is headquartered in Germany and operates in the Automotive sector.   What is the meaning of the Porsche brand?   The striking coat of arms first adorned the Porsche brand in 1952. The Porsche logo drew inspiration from Stuttgart’s city seal, which features a rearing horse that was incorporated into the center of the shield shape. Since Stuttgart itself was founded around 950AD as a centre of horse-breeding and stud farms, the animal was a fitting addition to the emblem. The word Stuttgart is in fact derived from a small ducal stud farm, ‘Stuotgarten’, which was situated near the Nesenbach stream in the area.   The horse ultimately symbolizes the power, agility and elegance of Porsche cars. While the horse represents strength, the red and black stripes on either side are reflective of the traditional crest colors of Württemberg-Hohenzollern. The stylised antlers of the Porsche logo were also taken from the region’s coat of arms and the name of the city that Porsche calls home is visible above the horse.   In June 2023, to celebrate the 75 years anniversary of Porsche sports cars, a new Porsche crest was unveiled, carefully modernized with minor revisions but without straying too far from the essence of the original.     7 – The Chanel brand The Chanel brand - Portugal Business News   The Chanel brand is the 7th Most Valuable Brand in Europe in 2025 with a brand valuation of 34.004 billion euros.

She single-handedly revolutionized the concept of black as the ultimate fashion color, forever associating the color black to the Chanel brand image.   The astonishing fact about the Chanel logo is that the original design from 1925 has never been altered since its creation. This is a profound testament to the perfection and timeless appeal of Chanel’s design aesthetic and brand image.     8 – The Louis Vuitton brand The Louis Vuitton brand - Portugal Business News   The Louis Vuitton brand is the 8th Most Valuable Brand in Europe in 2025 with a brand valuation of 29.523 billion euros.

At the time, horse-drawn carriages, boats and trains were the main modes of transportation, and baggage was handled roughly. Travelers called upon craftsmen to pack and protect their individual objects.   Louis Vuitton quickly became a valued craftsman at the Parisian atelier of Monsieur Maréchal where he stayed for 17 years before opening his own workshop at 4 Rue Neuve-des-Capucines, near the Place Vendome.   What made the Louis Vuitton brand successful?   The Louis Vuitton brand became successful when it started marketing the fact that their luggage had an unpickable lock.
