The Banco de Portugal joins the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the 25 April revolution and of the Portuguese Democracy with a series of events on economy, society and history. This exhibition is one of them.
We will take you back to the Portugal of 1974 and 1975 in order to understand the role played by the Banco de Portugal in the affirmation of the new regime, and how the Revolution was experienced in the institution.
In April 1974, the Banco de Portugal rapidly placed itself at the service of the Revolution: it advised the State in economic decision-making processes, ensured the cash supply and offered financial support to banks and to the economy. In the same year, it also began to supervise banking activity.
It is difficult to look at the past without taking the present as a reference and without realising what the country was like then and how it has evolved since. Two areas of this exhibition seek to respond to this need, and help us understand both the meaning and the impact of the 25 April revolution, then and now.
