Portugal
Portugal is in the midst of a deep recession as the collapse of external demand and tight financial conditions have affected all parts of the economy, particularly exports and investment. Activity is expected to contract throughout 2009, before recovering very slowly in 2010 as the global economy and financial conditions gradually improve. The unemployment rate is set to reach double digits. Sharply lower commodity prices and the large negative output gap will leave inflation at very low levels.
