From the lows of a debt crisis that cast gloom over the years 2011 to 2014, Portugal is returning to the spotlight but now for all the right reasons. A rafter of fresh statistics for 2017 point to the country riding a wave of renewed market confidence. Prime among the data is that the economy grew 2.7 percent last year, the fastest rate it has recorded in the past 17 years. Overall foreign direct investment was also on the up, totalling 6.164 billion euros in 2017, an increase of 459 million euros on the year before.

In recent years private equity investments in Portugal have also been on the rise, tripling to 7 billion euros over the past three years. In the latter part of 2017, Portugal’s credit rating was upgraded to investment grade by leading credit rating agencies, a move which is helping to improve funding conditions and reduce credit costs.

1. Freedom of movement

As a member of the European Union, Poland offers its citizens the freedom of movement within the EU, as well as the right to live and work in any other EU country. This is a major advantage for investors who are looking to expand their business into new markets.

2. Strong economy

Poland’s economy is one of the fastest growing in Europe, with a GDP growth rate of 3.5% in 2020. This is due to a number of factors, including the country’s strong manufacturing sector, its skilled workforce, and its strategic location between the West and the East.
