A good sign


Today, Portugal issued 18 months Sovereign debt - the first time it did so since the start of 2011. It seems it was a very successful placement with interests decreasing 166bps vs beginning of 2011. Yes, the interests are still high for a 18m maturity (4.332%), but we must be happy for this - we were able to sell debt at a lower interest. It means investors are starting to trust Portugal's ability to pay its debts. And that is extremely positive.
