A economia constrói-se com políticas económicas, macro e micro, e constrói-se a partir de expetativas

"Que não restem dúvidas: o futuro da economia portuguesa, isto é, o retorno à esperança, não se constrói sem o mercado doméstico, como aliás o ano de 2013 tornou bem patente, assim como não acontecerá sem investimento na educação e formação dos portugueses, sem retoma do investimento em investigação e desenvolvimento, sem estancar a hemorragia humana que o país está novamente a viver e sem que os portugueses que vivem do seu trabalho, nas empresas e serviços privados e nas administrações públicas, voltem a acreditar que têm futuro em Portugal. A economia constrói-se com políticas económicas, macro e micro, e constrói-se a partir de expetativas, mobilização, confiança nas políticas e nos decisores de política, e nestas dimensões tudo falha: a consistência das políticas e destas com o discurso e, sobremaneira, a credibilidade dos atores políticos."
