Markets Fall As Another Crisis Engulfs Portugal
Borrowing costs in Portugal have risen more that 2% and the market has fallen by more than 6% during early trading. Jose Mario Barroso is said to be following the situation very closely.
Earlier this week two leading ministers resigned as large protests again the austerity imposed on the country took hold.
The sharp rise in bond yields suggests investors are less confident that Portugal will be able to repay its international debts.
Jose Mario Barroso The European Commission President said:
“The initial reaction of the markets shows the obvious risk that the financial credibility recently built up by Portugal could be jeopardised by the current political instability. If this happens it would be especially damaging for the Portuguese people, particularly as there were already preliminary signs of economic recovery.”
In May 2011 Portugal received a $102bn bailout on the condition that it implemented long-standing austerity measures. A little over two years later the Portuguese people are becoming more angry with the measures and more disillusioned with their government.
