On February 20, the new dashboard interactive (monthly e annual) and a Summary of Social Security Statistics, with a detailed analysis of the data on persons of foreign nationality registered with the Social Security. This publication presents for the first time a descriptive analysis of the data on persons of foreign nationality registered with Social Security, focusing in particular on the evolution of the respective contributions paid to Social Security and benefits paid by Social Security, from January 2015 to the most recent month with available data. The monthly and continuously updated availability of these indicators enhances transparency in this regard, allowing a more systematic and up-to-date reading of the evolution of the main indicators analysed. During a session with journalists, the main results were presented and several caveats were made regarding the interpretation of the information now available. The Secretary of State for Social Security, Filipa Lima, stressed the importance of a rigorous and contextualised reading of the figures, clarifying that the difference between the contributions paid by foreign citizens and the benefits received should not be understood as a “net balance of foreign citizens for Social Security”. Such a conclusion, he explained, is not possible, since “we do not have a complete breakdown of all revenue and expenditure items by nationality”.
