Portugal isn’t doing enough to avoid Greece’s fate and needs to step up efforts to overhaul the economy, a senior member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party said. Portugal’s economic growth is sagging as the government lacks the resolve to make companies and wages more competitive, Germany’s budget cuts and limited wage increases may be an example to follow, Meister said. “We’ve done two things: namely ramp up spending on education and areas of technological innovation where we expect future growth,” said Meister, a university mathematics researcher by training. “Wage growth in the last decade has been modest.” European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said yesterday that he has concerns a “two-speed” economic recovery may undermine efforts to bolster the stability of the euro region. The European Commission, the European Union’s executive arm, raised its 2010 economic growth forecast for Germany to 3.4 percent. Portugal’s economy will expand 0.9 percent this year and 0.2 percent next, the Bank of Portugal said in July. bloomberg.com
