The Stability and Growth Programme • Public finances in the medium-term: SGP 2007-2011 • The performance in 2007 allowed the Government to attain the Stability and Growth Pact’s reference value, one year ahead of schedule • “Portugal is to be praised for bringing its deficit to 3%, and possibly less, in 2007, one year before the deadline. The recent pension reforms also significantly improve the long-term outlook of its finances. It is encouraged to pursue its budgetary strategy to help put the Portuguese economy back on a sustainable and dynamic catching-up path.” – Recommendation from the EC on February 13th, 2008 9
