Title:  Social Protection Systems
Abstract: The current social protection model in Portugal reflects both the economic and social
changes of the last decades, and a convergence to social protection levels verified in other
European Union Member States. The specificity of the Portuguese system due to the late
development of the Social Security System, explains the stronger growth of expenditure,
when compared to its European counterparts. This feature of the Portuguese system,
combined with the demographic trends forecasted for the coming decades, adds major
challenges to public finances.

Title:  Macro-projections underlying the budget
Abstract:  The need to restore public confidence in official economic and fiscal
forecasts has led several countries either to subject official projections to oversight by
an independent fiscal institution or, alternatively, to delegate this function to such an
institution. In order to understand the exact meaning of such oversight or delegation
we need to clarify the nature of macro-fiscal projections and their role in the budget
process. This note aims at providing such an explanation, in the light of international
trends in this area.
