Portugal: Work accident pensions increase by 2.60% in 2025

The evolution of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) led to a 2.60% increase in pensions for accidents at work.

As a result, Ordinance no. 6-A/2025/1, of January 6^th was published in Portugal’s Official Gazette, updating for 2025 the pensions for permanent disability and death due to accidents at work to the amount resulting from the application of the 2.60% increase percentage.
