After the weather check and a few check-ins from our wonderful community - https://sites.google.com/view/olabomdia/weather?authuser=0 - straight into the big economic picture in Portugal - https://www.portugalresident.com/public-debt-hits-133-8-of-gdp-historic-record/

Thereafter, and as a result of Brit banks possibly withdrawing their service to Brits in Europe, we began the search for Portugal's best bank - based on the personal experience of the GMP! collective.

We had a wide ranging discussion that included the highest level analysis of global capitalism to singing the praises of Carlos - a bank manager who shakes your hand (pandemic permitting) at Eurobic in Ansiao!

Please share your 'best bank' view and feedback on our new survey site: www.expatschoiceportugal.com
