Executive Summary

• Portuguese financial assets have been under pressure in recent months, with a widening in sovereign and credit

spreads, a year-to-date retreat in the PSI-20 stock index and a downgrading of the sovereign rating by S&P, from A+to A-. However, this pressure does not reflect any deterioration in the Portuguese economy’s fundamentals in thisperiod. Instead, it should be mainly seen as a result of a contagion effect from market worries with Greece.

• Portugal is not Greece. Portugal’s public deficit and debt are lower as a percentage of GDP. In 2009, Portugal’s deficitreached 9.4% of GDP, mainly as a result of a decrease in revenues, as the economy face the deepest recession in

several decades. This compares with a reading of close to 14% in Greece. In turn, Portugal’s public debt should reach86% of GDP in 2010, which compares with close to 130% in Greece. This means that the adjustment needed to bringthe deficit closer to 3% of GDP is smaller in Portugal.

• Portugal does not face issues of (lack of) credibility in public finances. Also, it has a favourable track record in deficitreduction efforts. Prior to the global crisis, Portugal had lowered the deficit to 2.8% of GDP, in an environment of 

moderate growth. Most importantly, Portugal is not facing any liquidity risks. Around 40% of Government bondfinancing needs (out of a total of around EUR 22 billion) had been fulfilled by the end of April.

• The Government has stepped-up efforts to lower the deficit in 2010. Besides a freeze in civil servants’ nominal wages,it has announced a freeze in public sector hiring, cuts in public investment, reductions in social spending, tax increases

and the introduction of new tolls in highways. Further measures, that have been presented in the Growth and StabilityProgram 2011-2013, should be implemented in the years ahead, in an environment of social and political stability.

•  Activity indicators are suggesting an exports-based recovery in 2010-2011. GDP could rise close to 0.6% in 2010(after -2.7% in 2009). We admit some negative short-term risks to this forecast but, going forward, growth should besupported by favourable fundamentals, including the expansion of the economy’s relevant market (ex. to fast growing

economies in Africa and Latin America) and the effects of structural reforms underway (ex. social security, publicadministration, energy, etc.).

 Average Interest Rates in Loans to Households and Firms (% ).

Contributions to GDP Grow th from Exports and Fixed Investment (p.p.).

The process of nominal convergence with EMU allowed for an upgrading in Portuguese standards of living from the1990s onwards, mainly through higher household investment in housing. A rapid decline in interest rates led to strongerinvestment spending and to an increase in households’ and firms’ indebtedness levels. In the beginning of the currentdecade, an adjustment of private domestic spending, efforts to reduce the budget deficit and a global recession led to arecession (in 2003). The recovery from that recession was made mainly through stronger exports growth, and notthrough higher consumption or rising house prices.

Convergence w ith EMU gave way to an upgrading in standards of livingfrom 1990s onwards.

The increase in Portugal’s indebtedness levels should be seen as a natural result of Euro Area membership, whichimplied the access to financing at more favourable conditions by an economy in a process of adjustment to a newenvironment. Typically, most of this financing has been intermediated by the banking sector. External investors do notface any 1970s style exchange rate risk and financial inflows benefit from the credibility of Euro Area rules of monetaryand fiscal policy, as well as from the political commitment to build a strong European Union and currency union.

House Pr ices, Portugal vs. Spain 

(1988=100 and % annual nominal change) 

Having had its period of stronger expansion in the 1990s, the Portuguese housing market faced the recent globalfinancial crisis in a very different cyclical position from those in economies such as the US, UK, Ireland or Spain. Houseprice growth has been moderate over the last years, essentially reflecting macroeconomic developments andfundamentals. The lack of evidence of overvaluation in house prices mitigates any potential credit risks.

No Spanish-style bubble in house prices.

Households’ Mortgage Debt Service by Income Quartile (% of Disposable Income) Household Financial Indebtedness (% of Disposable Income) 

 Aggregate household indebtedness has reached slightly above 130% of disposable income (or 95% of GDP). But thishas mainly reflected an increase in the number of households with access to mortgage loans, and not any significantincrease in individual situations of heavy debt burdens. In average, mortgage debt service ratios remain containedacross all income quartiles. Vulnerability to interest changes is higher among lower income households.

Households’ aggregate debt remains low (close to 25%) as a proportion of total wealth. Lack of significant correctionsin housing valuations should protect the current solidity of households’ wealth condition. Also, the average monthlymortgage payment only represents 23% of gross average labour monthly earnings.

Index of Housing Affordability (Ratio of household nominal disposable income to 

the nominal house price index, 2000=100) 

Housing affordability, as measured by the ratio of household nominal disposable income to the nominal house priceindex, has remained relatively stable and supported over the last years (in contrast with the euro area average, whereit has declined more visibly until 2007, improving slightly after that). This has mainly resulted from a combinationbetween low interest rates (benefiting disposable income) and moderate house price growth.

• Portugal was one of the first EU economies to postpositive GDP growth rates (q-o-q) in 2009, as early as

the 2nd quarter. And in 2009 as a whole, its growthperformance was much less unfavourable than the onesfrom its main partners in the EU, with GDP falling by2.7%, which compares with readings of -3.6% in Spain,-5.0% in Germany, -8% in Ireland and -4.5% in the UK.

• This comes from the fact that Portugal was neitheraffected by negative wealth effects related to housingsector corrections, nor by financial sector instability, inthe way other economies were.

Mortgage loans decelerated gradually, from the high growth rates of the 1990s and, more recently, reflecting theimpact of the global financial crisis. Recent data shows a stabilisation – or slight increase – in y-o-y growth rates, atclose to 3%. Non-performing mortgage loans have increased recently, as economic activity declined in 2H2008-1H2009 and unemployment increased, but they remained well contained, below 2% of total mortgage loans.Consumption non-performing loans have shown a more visible increase, but they represent a small share of totalhousehold loans (around 20%).

Mortgage loan growth has stabil ised. Housing NPLs remain contained.

Unemployment rate (% of labour force). Households’ savings rate (% of disposable income).

Higher unemployment and higher households’ savings rate.

Unemployment has increased to 10.1% of the labour force in 4Q 2009 (annual average of 9.5% in 2009), as a resultof the retreat in GDP. The unemployment rate should increase a little further in 2010, stabilising by year-end andstarting to decline in 2011, as activity growth gradually strengthens.Household savings have increased to 8.8% of disposable income, benefiting from a higher disposable income and an

increased sense of precaution on the part of individuals.

Corporate indebtedness has also increased following

EMU membership. Non-financial corporation’sindebtedness has reached 140% of GDP in 2008. Bank loans are the biggest part of corporate indebtedness,followed by the issue of debt securities.

Loan growth has been decelerating since 2008, as a

result of lower investment, but have shown resiliencein the face of the recent recession. A future recoveryin loan growth should be associated withinternationalisation efforts of firms. Overdue loanshave increased, but remain contained as a percentageof total corporate loans.

Portugal suffered the negat ive impact of the “Greece effect”.

10-year Government Bond spread vs. Germany (bps). 5-year Sovereign CDS Spreads (bps).

Following a sharp deterioration in Greece’s public accounts in the context of high global risk aversion, financial assets inthe Euro Area’s periphery were put under pressure, as a result of market speculation. Portugal has suffered thecontagion effect of market worries with Greece. The widening in spreads has not resulted from any deterioration in

Portuguese economy’s fundamentals.

Portugal is not Greece. Public debt is in line w ith the EU average.

Public Deficit 2002-2010E (% of GDP). Public Deficit vs. EU, 2009 (% of GDP).

Before the global economic crisis, Portugal was going

through a path of fiscal consolidation, having loweredthe budget deficit from 6.1% to 2.8% of GDP between2005 and 2008 (in an environment of relatively lowgrowth). In the same period, Greece’s deficit increasedfrom 5.2% to 7.7% of GDP, in spite of stronger GDPgrowth.

Portugal’s public debt is expected to reach 86% of GDP in 2010, which is still in line with the EU averageof close to 84% of GDP.

 Adjustments in social security rules have improved public debtsustainability.

Estimated increase in age-related expenditure (2010-2060, % GDP).

 Average 2011-2015 primary balance required to achieve long term public debt sustainability (1 ) 

(% GDP).

 According to European Commission estimates, Portugal will face an increase in ageing-related expenditure equivalent to2.9% of GDP in the period 2010-2060, which compares with a Euro Area average of 5.1% (with 16% in Greece, 8.3% inSpain and 5.1% in Germany, for example). This is the result of recent changes in social security rules, including theincrease in the retirement age of civil servants and the introduction of a “sustainability coefficient” in determining

pensions, and has improved the long term sustainability of Portugal’s public debt.

Public Debt by Holders (% GDP).

Domestic banks have a low exposure to Portuguese public debt.

Less than 9% of Portuguese public debt is held by the Portuguese banking sector. Non-residents hold close to 80% of Portuguese public debt. But these are, essentially, euro area institutions, which are not subject to any exchange rate risk 

in these investments.

Central Bank liquidity provision (EUR bill ion).

The stability and soundness of Portugal’s banking sector favour the Portuguese economy’s outlook. Portuguese banks’ borrowings from the central bank amount to less than 2% of banks’ assets. This is below the levels observed, forexample, in France, Spain, Germany and Greece. The IMF report released in January 2010 stated that “The (Portuguese)banking system has weathered the global financial crisis relatively well, reflecting pre-existing strengths.”

Several GSP measures are being anticipated to reinforce deficit reductionefforts in 2010.

Highlights of the 2010-2013 Stability and Growth P rogram:

•According to the Program, cuts in public spending should contribute to close to 50% of the deficit reduction. Around 15% should come from higher revenues and 35% should come from the effects of higher activity growth.

•The main measures on the side of spending include: (i) a freeze in nominal wages in 2010 and a fall in real wages

in 2011-2013 (i.e. wage increases below inflation); (ii) hiring in the civil service limited by the “1-for-2” rule (1 admissiononly when 2 other civil servants leave); this rule becomes law; (iii) cuts in health-related spending and in all socialbenefits that are not linked to contributions; (iv) cuts in public investment, including the postponement of 2 projectedhigh-speed train lines (Lisbon-Porto and Porto-Vigo) and a 40% reduction in military spending; (v) extra penalties inpensions in the case of early retirements; (vi) phasing out of the extraordinary stimulus measures implemented during thefinancial crisis; (vi) reduction in intermediate consumption spending; (vii) zero net indebtedness in regional and local

Government until 2013 and new limits to public companies’ indebtedness.

•The main measures on the side of revenue include: (i) lower tax benefits, including the creation of progressiveceilings on deductions in the Personal Income Tax; (ii) an increase in the tax on capital gains; (iii) a new 45% personalincome tax rate on incomes above EUR 150000 (until 2013); (iv) new highway tolls. The Government expects revenuesfrom privatisations to reach EUR 6 billion in the period 2010-2013 (these revenues contribute directly to a reduction inpublic debt).

•Initial deficit reduction measures in 2010 included a freeze in civil servants’ nominal wages, a freeze in public sector hiringand cuts in public investment. The Government has now announced a step-up in the efforts of deficit reduction in2010, anticipating several GSP measures that should be in place only in 2011. These include reductions in social

spending, an increase in the capital gains tax, the introduction of a new 45% bracket in the personal income tax and newhighway tolls.

Pol it ical environment: Clear majori ty of market fr iendly parties.

• In September 2009, the ruling Socialist Party (PS) won the General Election, but lost the absolute majority it had held

in the previous 4 years (its vote dropped from 45% in 2005 to 36.6%). The 2010 Budget approval was made possibleby the two parties of the centre-right (PSD – Partido Social Democrata and CDS-PP – Partido Popular), who abstained,citing the need for political stability. Market-friendly parties (PS, PSD and CDS) represent close to 80% of Parliament.

 As a central scenario, we assume that an environment of political stability will continue in 2010 and 2011.

• The Government (supported by PS) and the main Opposition party (PSD) have agreed to support new measures of 

deficit reduction in 2010. This suggests that the deficit reduction process should take place in anenvironment of polit ical stability.

The impact of the globalfinancial crisis on Brazil hasbeen very low by historicalstandards, as the economyremained structurallysound, with ample external

reserves, disciplined publicaccounts and containedinflation expectations.

Beyond strong exports,growth is being mainlydriven by domestic

demand, as a result of favourable developmentsin income and in financialconditions (average GDPgrowth close to 5% in the

near term). With theeconomy’s increasingattractiveness forinvestment, we expect anincrease in Brazil’spotential growth over the

• The Portuguese economy faces important challenges in the years ahead. These include the need to contain the public

debt and the need to accelerate GDP growth, through higher productivity growth and improved externalcompetitiveness. Domestic savings will have to increase.

• Nevertheless, economic and fiscal fundamentals do not justify recent market worries. Portugal is not facing anyliquidity risks, as financing needs are being fulfilled in the market with no particular stress. Although it should increase

in the near future, public debt remains in line with the EU average. In the EU context, Portugal is well placed in whatconcerns public debt affordability and sustainability.

•  Aggregate household indebtedness has increased in the last 15 years. This was the result of an upgrading in thestandards of living in the context of improved financing conditions, as Portugal joined the European Monetary Union.Household debt service remains contained and household wealth condition is solid. Portugal did not face any Spanish-

style bubble in the housing sector. Neither households nor the financial sector are subject to the risk of sharp negativewealth effects through significant property devaluations.

•  According to the IMF, the Portuguese banking system has weathered the global financial crisis relatively well,reflecting pre-existing strengths. Portuguese banks’ borrowings from the Central Bank amount to less than 2% of banks’ assets. This is below the levels observed in France, Spain, Germany and Greece.

• Higher growth in the future should come from: improved confidence from fiscal consolidation; an expansion of therelevant market of the economy, mainly to Africa and Latin America, taking advantage of historical and cultural ties,as well as of geographic proximity (and acting as a bridge to these emerging economies); investments in reducingenergy dependence; exploring the competitive advantage of tourism; benefiting from an environment of socialcohesion and political stability.
