The Portuguese State has so far received €20 billion from the bailout fund negotiated with the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank.
The amount received from the ‘troika’ represents one quarter of the €78 billion assigned to Portugal to avoid its bankruptcy.
Portugal’s direct state debt currently stands at €172.4 billion, around 99.8% of its GDP in 2010.
Under the agreement that the EU leaders reached last week in Brussels, the Greek economy will receive an additional €109 billion cash injection.
