Briefings

The article 'Contas Certas' by Mário Centeno and Filipe Santos Costa examines public financial accounts in Portugal, noting a significant improvement in the deficit during Centeno's tenure as Finance Minister. The text highlights that the deficit decreased and Portugal exited the 'Procedimento' in 2017, though the article explicitly states it is not a review of the book itself but rather a discussion of the financial data. The source is an exclusive subscription-only article from ECO Premium, with a price of 55à/year or 5à/month, and the content is restricted to paid subscribers.
