During his more than three years at the helm of the Bank of Portugal, 42-year-old Antonio de Sousa has successfully managed a delicate balancing act, avoiding the disputes over monetary policy that had often flared between the central bank and the treasury.
His political career dates from 1987 when he was appointed secretary of state for industry and includes appointments as deputy minister of foreign trade and deputy minister of finance. He has also held key jobs in the private sector as a board member of Banco Totta & Acores and president of Tottagespar.
