Portugal. Development Co-operation Review (2001)
Portugal's official development assistance/gross national product (ODA/GNP) ratio recorded 0.26% in 1999 and ranked 16th out of 22 Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Member countries. Portugal rejoined the DAC in 1991 and, although narrowing the gap with its neighbours, has the lowest per capita GNP amongst the members. However, its ODA has grown continuously in recent years, and amounted to USD 276 million in 1999. The economy remained strong in 2000 and was projected to grow further in 2001 and 2002. Portugal is aiming to re-attain 0.35% ODA/GNP in the near future.
