I want to know the answer to the following question:
Between 1974 and 2010, how did the Portuguese government encourage over-expenditure and investment bubbles?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A report released in January 2011 by the Diário de Notícias and published in Portugal by Gradiva, had demonstrated that in the period between the Carnation Revolution in 1974 and 2010, the democratic Portuguese Republic governments encouraged over-expenditure and investment bubbles through unclear Public–private partnerships and funding of numerous ineffective and unnecessary external consultancy and advisory of committees and firms.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
