Intervenção do Ministro das Finanças «From sick man to poster boy: Portugal’s successful recovery from the euro crisis» na Universidade de Harvard

It is a pleasure to be here at the Center for European Studies of Harvard University. It’s good to be back and to see so many familiar faces and places. I cherish the memories of the time I spent here as a PhD student back in the late nineties. And I have learned so much from colleagues, professors, all friends. 

Harvard taught me how to think of economics and politics together. At Harvard I had the privilege to meet colleagues with the same interests, but also those who read different papers. I was truly enriched by that experience. And, I may say, my interest in Politics and Economics remains intact. Although politics has been stealing me probably far too much time lately…! But that too I learned here. I was always inspired by so many examples of Harvard Professors and Alumni that served in office. That sense of mission called me in, when a chance to govern my country in a dire situation was offered to me. 

I’m doing my share of serving. I come here today as alumni, as a Minister of Finance and a President of the Eurogroup. I will share with you today my government experience.
