PORTUGAL - Continued fiscal discipline will be key. 
 The fiscal performance in 2017 was robust, reflecting strong economic growth, controlled budget execution, and falling interest costs. Building on the strong track record established in the last several years, fiscal consolidation should focus on a sustainable plan to reduce current expenditure, with particular attention on wages and pensions. Fiscal discipline is a cornerstone of debt reduction.

PORTUGAL - External balance.
Trade has played an increasingly important role as a driver of economic growth. A booming tourism sector has meant that exports of services have offset an increase in goods imports.

 

PORTUGAL - Job-rich growth.
The unemployment rate fell to a record low of 7. 1 percent in April 2018. The long-term unemployed are also returning to work in large numbers. The low unemployment rate is based on a vigorous improvement in employment, which grew by 3.3 percent in 2017, even as labor force participation increased by 1.1 percent.
