In March 2019, Banco de Portugal started the weekly publication of a graph accompanied by a brief analysis on a topic of the Portuguese economy or the euro area, based on the work of its economists. The aim is to disseminate the technical-scientific work carried out at Banco de Portugal among a wider audience, contributing to a better understanding of the Portuguese economy in the context of the euro area.

After four years, “Economics in a picture” has reached its 200^th edition. This edition features a word cloud based on the titles of the “Economics in a picture”. The topics that marked the most past editions focused on the Portuguese economy, covering households, firms and the banking sector, in dimensions such as monetary and fiscal policy, labour market, exports, growth, inflation, among others. A significant part of the issues was related to the disruptions caused by COVID-19 in the economy.
