Este projeto de graduação analisa a relevância do investimento público no crescimento e desenvolvimento económico de um país. Como objetivos principais apresenta a clarificação da importância do investimento público para o crescimento económico e o estudo da evolução dos níveis de investimento público em Portugal de 2015 a 2022. O método utilizado é descritivo, assente em informações estatísticas recolhidas na Direção Geral do Orçamento, abordando as contas públicas nacionais e principais agregados. Ao longo desta pesquisa distingue-se entre as abordagens das finanças públicas neutras e ativas, clarifica-se terminologia das finanças públicas e aponta-se a relevância macroeconómica do investimento público. Estabelece-se igualmente uma análise descritiva da evolução do investimento público, na componente de Formação Bruta de Capital Fixo em Portugal entre 2015 e 2022 e apresentam-se as linhas estratégicas do Plano de Resiliência e Recuperação para Portugal (PRR), que complementa o investimento público na economia portuguesa com fundos europeus. Conclui-se que o investimento público desempenha um papel significativo no crescimento económico e emprego, promovendo a modernização da economia e o bem-estar social. Ao longo do período em análise percebeu-se um esforço contínuo de investimento público, embora com menor desempenho em 2016. No contexto do PRR, o investimento público em Portugal é direcionado para áreas estratégicas e promove parcerias com o setor privado, visando a competitividade, a resiliência económica e a transição para uma economia sustentável e digitalizada.
This study examines the significance of public investment in the development of an economy and growth. Its main objectives include clarifying the importance of public investment for economic growth and studying the evolution of public investment levels in Portugal from 2015 to 2022. The approach is descriptive and is based on statistical data gathered from the General Budget Directorate that includes major aggregates and national public accounts. The paper distinguishes between neutral and active approaches to public finance, clarifies the vocabulary used in public finance, and emphasizes the macroeconomic importance of public investment. A descriptive analysis of the evolution of public investment, in terms of Gross Fixed Capital Formation in Portugal between 2015 and 2022 is also provided, along with the presentation of the strategic guidelines of the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), which complements public investment in the Portuguese economy with European funds. It is concluded that public investment significantly contributes to economic growth, employment, and social well-being while fostering the modernization of the economy. A consistent governmental investment effort was seen over the course of the studied period, with 2016 showing poorer performance. In the context of the PRR, public investment in Portugal is directed towards strategic areas and promotes partnerships with the private sector, aiming for competitiveness, economic resilience, and a transition to a sustainable and digitalized economy.
