Portugal

Business Indicators

With an overall score of 10.98/12, Portugal is at standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Portugal has a market-based economy. Portugal's privatization efforts have been ongoing for 10 years, and have resulted in the sale of 100 previously state-owned enterprises. The Portuguese government welcomes foreign investment and imposes almost no foreign investment controls in its private enterprise sectors. As an EU member, Portugal complies with all EU Free Trade Arrangements. Although property rights and contract laws are established, enforcement of intellectual property rights remains a weak area for Portugal. Since Portugal's 1986 entry into the EU, it has moved toward greater political and economic integration with Europe which has brought greater political stability to the country. Corruption is of no concern to investors, as reflected in Portugal�s ranking of 32nd out of 180 countries in the Transparency International�s 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index.
