Title: Local Finance: Economic principles, institutions and the Portuguese experience since 1987
Provider-Name: Conselho das Financas Publicas
Abstract: This volume is a study on the economic and institutional foundations of Portuguese 
public finances at the local level. Based on 32 years of qualitative and numerical information 
at the individual and aggregate level on the respective authorities, it depicts the accounts 
resulting from the political and economic activity developed by the local public sector.
The work goes beyond the conventional cash-based data and the Maastricht debt indicator to 
discuss the robustness of the economic and budgetary environment. Legal norms, institutional 
characteristics, accounting concepts and principles of economic analysis are convened to interpret 
the developments of the accounts and to assess the systemic strengths and weaknesses of that 
framework.
The causes and policy responses to the financial challenges of the last eight years deserve particular 
attention. The economic analysis of past experience concludes lessons to be taken into account in order 
to improve the future framework.
