Portugal have to Pay debt of 4,700 million Dollars to I.M.F

Portugal has paid about 4,700 million euros of debt it still had with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) because of the financial rescue of 2011, which has allowed it to save 100 million in interest.
The Portuguese Finance Minister, Mario Content, reported on the payment last tranche of debt at a press conference in Lisbon, in which he explained that the advance repayments executed in the last three years allowed a total saving of 1,160 million euros.

Centeno explained that the loan granted by the IMF - with an interest rate of 4.3% - was “expensive” compared to the rates at which Portugal financed in the debt markets, so the reimbursements represent “significant savings”. “
This final reimbursement had already announced by the Portuguese Prime Minister, Antonino Costa, at the end of November, and was allowed last week by the European Stability Mechanism.

Lisbon closed the financial rescue program in May 2014 after three years under the severe change program agreed with the troika for a loan from the IMF and the European Union (EU).

The debt with the EU, they have not yet settled which, amounts to almost 52 billion euros.
