LISBON, March 24 (Reuters) - Portugal's budget deficit
narrowed sharply to 0.4% of gross domestic product in 2022 from
2.9% a year earlier, benefiting from a robust economic recovery
along with record inflation that boosted tax revenues, official
data showed on Friday.
The National Statistics Institute (INE) also said the budget
gap was expected to end this year at 0.9% this year, the same
level as targeted by the government in the budget months ago.
