Banking and Finance
The banking and insurance industries underwent nationalization in 1975, and subsequently went private in the 1980s.

By the early 1990s the national banks and insurance firms continue to account for 80 percent and 60 percent of their markets, respectively.

Financial markets have developed since Portugal joined the European Community.
