PORTUGAL CRISIS
Portugal ended 2012 with more deficits and more debt than expected, according to the INE

Portugal ended the year 2012 with its budget deficit at 6.4% of GDP, far from the 5% that was intended, and its debt rose to 123.6% of GDP, more than three points higher than expected.
This emerges from the data released today by the National Statistics Institute (INE) Portuguese, slightly correcting the latest figures provided two weeks ago by the Portuguese Government.
The Executive Luso then explained that the deficit figure was hurt by the fact that the EU does not agree to include in its accounts the sale of the airport management to the French group Vinci ANA (by 1,200 million euros).
In addition to this operation, Eurostat calculations differ from those made by Portugal because there are differences when accounting for the increase in the state capital of Caixa Geral de Depósitos, as the EU body called it "a transfer" and, therefore detracted the deficit by 700 million.
Also was "reclassified" an operation by the company that controls the business interests of the Portuguese State, Parpública, with an estimated impact of an additional 750 million euros.
Portuguese Finance Minister, Vitor Gaspar, said two weeks ago that the EU and IMF bailout borrowing entities 78,000 million euros granted to the country in 2011 - passed their deficit reduction efforts, and felt that it would be at 6.6%, two tenths higher than the final data, known today.
He also recalled that this discrepancy is due solely to differences in the calculation criteria, since, according to the IMF assessment method, the Portuguese deficit itself was below 5% of GDP.
The public debt of Portugal, meanwhile, increased between 2011 and 2012 by more than 19,000 million euros, exceeding the barrier of 200,000 million euros and equal to 123.6% of the total value of its economy.
This contrasts with forecasts of international institutions that provided financial assistance to the country and that as of November 2012 Portuguese debt expected to close the year at 120%.
The figure also exceeds the most recent forecast Portuguese conservative government two weeks ago, when it stood at 123%.
This increased level of public debt in Portugal comes despite government efforts to reduce it through a cost containment policy and the adoption of harsh austerity measures.
However, the downturn in the economy (which makes compared the amount of debt entails higher percentage), the interest to be paid annually by financing signed in previous years, and the decline in tax revenue by the collapse in consumption partly explain this increase.
Portugal is in the worst crisis in its recent history, with a cumulative recession between 2011 and 2013 (just the period which is under financial assistance from the EU and IMF) estimated at about 7% and unemployment in the higher levels of its history, around 17%.
In this context, international organizations agreed in early March to give the country more time to implement the planned adjustments and lengthened by one year the deadline for the general government deficit below 3%, which happens now and 2015.
