- Abstract
The author discusses the decline of Portugal's economy. It notes the inability of the Portuguese government to raise loans in the international bond market. Moreover, the nation also received a bail-out from the European Central Bank and had undergone an austerity programme which established budget cuts in pensions, and the public sector. The author further highlights the impact of the rapid economic growth in India, China, and Brazil on health services.
