Quotes in this article

David Owen said: "I'm not saying Portugal is safe. They're not safe,"

Steen Jakobsen said: "To put it simply, Portugal is where Greece was 12-14 months ago. It's the same scenario because the EU is buying time by continuing to throw liquidity at what is essentially a solvency issue,"

Nicholas Spiro said: "Portugal is almost certainly going to follow in Greece's footsteps,"

Nicholas Spiro said: "Markets still perceive Greek PSI as a template, a foretaste, of what is to come in Ireland and Portugal," "The key is how orderly it is"

David Owen said: "On the ground they recognize that reforms are necessary and they clearly want to stay in the system," "Portugal perceives that, inside the system, with financing, they'll eventually come through"
