The Emigration Observatory has recently published the Portuguese Emigration Factbook 2023.
This report, available in English, provides a concise and updated overview of Portuguese emigration. It includes data up to 2022, or the most recent year available, covering total emigration figures and the primary destination countries, along with information on remittances sent by emigrants.
According to the Factbook, in 2022, the number of individuals leaving Portugal rose to 70,000, indicating a near-complete recovery to pre-pandemic emigration levels.
The Factbook also emphasizes the significance of remittances from emigrants, which play a crucial role in the Portuguese economy. It contains detailed information on the volume and composition of these remittances, their economic impact, and international comparisons.
