The Government’s presentation was followed by the presentation of the “Relatorio de Parecer” of the Commission C of the National Parliament. Led by its President, Hon. Manuel Tilman, the Commission  highlighted among others, the Commission’s opinion on economic growth in 2011-2012 that will slow down as compared to previous year; inflation will be higher than before the crisis; deficits will be higher in 2011 but recovered in 2012; unemployment rate will be higher in advanced western economies, and that the economy will not be immune from the impact of the above international market situation, as results of  the exchange rate of USD, global oil price fluctuation and the price of goods.
At the end of the session, the Parecer was approved unanimously by all its 9 members and that Proposal N. 54/II complies with all constitutional and legal requirements to be referred to the Plenary for discussion and voting in generality and in specialty, allowing the Parliamentary benches to take their respective roles in this regards.
