Video - Webinar: Housing affordability in Portugal: from diagnosis to action

Portugal is facing growing housing affordability challenges. Housing prices have doubled over the past decade, significantly outpacing incomes making access to housing increasingly difficult for young people and families. The webinar will open with remarks by Portugal’s Secretary of State for Housing and bring together policymakers and experts to discuss how to respond. The session will present the main findings of the 2026 OECD Economic Survey of Portugal, alongside new evidence from the Bank of Portugal. The discussion will focus on concrete policy priorities to improve housing supply, enhance affordability, and ensure better use of the existing housing stock.
