Portugal Outlook: Restructuring Down the Line
The implementation of the IMF program’s fiscal austerity package, as well as bank funding constraints, will lead to a severe growth contraction in 2012 and 2013 which—following Greece’s example—will end in public debt restructuring in late 2013 and an eventual eurozone (EZ) exit. The difficulty in reining in expenditures this early in the consolidation program bodes ill for the end-2012 and 2013 targets of 4.5% and 3.0%, respectively. Engrained obstacles to implementing bold structural reforms are prevalent even as the new government enjoys a comfortable majority in parliament.
