The government’s policy will help maintain investor and market confidence

Minister of State and Finance Joaquim Miranda Sarmento told CNBC that “Portugal is well-suited to protect against market headwinds.”

The minister noted that trust in the European institutions and the European project will remain very high, and markets will continue to have confidence in the European project.

Miranda Sarmento also said that the budget balance, the structural reform project prepared by the new government, the prospect of further economic growth and the reduction of public debt will allow us to continue to enjoy the trust of investors and markets in Portugal.

At the end of the interview, the Minister stated that “international investors and international institutions should have confidence in Portugal’s fiscal situation.”
