In yet another sign that Portugal is turning the corner on its debt crisis, Reuters news agency reports today that Portugal has met its 2013 budget deficit goal.
In a statement, the finance ministry said its public administration posted a budget deficit of 7.152 billion for last year, beating the target set out by the bailout by 1.749 billion.
It did not provide a figure for the budget deficit in terms of percent of gross domestic product, but the news is nonetheless seen as very positive.
