Here is some good news for a change.

Portugal has the lowest level of inflation in the EU.

In the last 12 months comparable costs for food FELL by 4.6% energy increased by 9.3% the overall rise in inflation was + 0.1%
UK increased by 1.9% 7.8% + 3.5%
The EU average is - 0.6% +4% +1.7%

As many of us often state providing you avoid the expensive " tourist related " shops and imported products Portugal is still good value.

Its just the poor £ thats ******** up for us all.

Deflation is no good for any economy. Still i'll now expect all the bar owners and shop keepers in CVO to drop their prices for the Summer :roll:
