Portugal announced a new package of austerity measures on the 29 September 2010 designed to reassure markets that it will meet ambitious deficit-reduction targets and not seek emergency funding in a Greek-style crisis.

The new austerity package was the latest in a series of emergency measures announced in 2010 in an effort to discipline Portugal’s public finances.
