    1 Conversation Between Carlos Da Silva Costa, Governor, Banco De

    Conversation between Carlos da Silva Costa, Governor, Banco de Portugal, and David Marsh, Chairman, OMFIF, 8 July 2020 David Marsh: Thank you for agreeing to this conversation, Mr Governor. You are within a few weeks of stepping down from your post as governor of the central bank and a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank. You have seen a lot in this time. How would you say that this crisis is different from the one in Europe in 2010-15? What lessons have we learned? Carlos da Silva Costa: The two crises are totally different. The one in 2008-09 originated in the financial sector. It came from the US and spread around Europe, at a different speed for different countries. It first hit the northern countries, with a savings surplus, because they invested a lot in American paper and junk bonds. The first banks hit were from the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. Only after we had the second wave did it hit the southern banks, because they were unable to access the capital markets. The third wave was the sovereign crisis affecting countries with high debts and deficits. DM: And now we have a crisis that impacts all countries at the same time… CC: An external shock, not an economic or financial shock, impacting first the sanitary conditions, then the supply side through policies to contain contagion, then cash flows and income, and then demand. In parallel, we have seen an impact on the financial sector because as people were unable to reimburse capital or to pay interest, which led to wise decisions to accept moratoria on interest payments and reimbursements.

  • Carlos Da Silva Costa: the Portuguese Economy – Structural Saving Gap and Policy Options

    Carlos da Silva Costa: The Portuguese economy – structural saving gap and policy options Address by Mr Carlos da Silva Costa, Governor of the Bank of Portugal, at the inauguration of the academic year of the University of Porto School of Economics and Business, Porto, 31 October 2012. * * * I. Introduction Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I would like to begin by thanking you for the great honour of addressing you at this inauguration of the academic year of the University of Porto School of Economics and Business, which this year happens to coincide with World Savings Day. There could not be a better occasion for an address on the structural saving gap of the Portuguese economy and the policy options which best ensure the success of the on-going adjustment. II. Structural saving gap and policy options for the Portuguese economy 1. Public and private structural saving gap Saving insufficiency is a structural trait of the Portuguese economy. This is shown clearly in the external accounts: over the last 60 years, the current and capital accounts, which measure the economy’s financing capacity, posted a surplus only twice in 16 occasions; meanwhile over the same period, the balance of goods and services was always negative. The chronic external imbalance led to the two adjustment programmes negotiated with the International Monetary Fund in 1978 and 1983. Over the last 15 years, cheaper and more accessible financing afforded by monetary union led to a strong expansion in credit, and to a lesser extent, the contraction of private saving. The increase in indebtedness and decrease in saving were mainly used to finance consumption and low-return investments, and therefore did not result in the expansion of the economy’s growth potential.
