Abstract
espanolEl objeto de este trabajo es el analisis de la evolucion de determinados aspectos del sector bancario portugues a partir de la informacion proporcionada por instituciones monetarias financieras, asi como su comparacion con la eurozona, sobre todo tras la crisis de las subprime originada en Estados Unidos en 2007. Ademas, se ofrece informacion de interes relativa a la gobernanza corporativa de los bancos portugueses (por ejemplo, modelo de gobernanza, cuestiones de genero, dimension del Consejo, retribucion de los ejecutivos, cualificacion de los miembros del Consejo). Resulta particularmente interesante comprobar que, tras el rescate que tuvo lugar en 2011, el sistema bancario portugues comenzo un proceso reduccionista no solo en lo que se refiere al numero de oficinas, sino tambien en el ambito de los recursos humanos. Por lo que se refiere a las caracteristicas de los consejos de direccion, la mayoria de los bancos portugueses apuestan por el modelo latino de gobernanza. Otros aspectos que merece la pena destacar son el escaso numero de bancos portugueses que cotizan en bolsa y la poca participacion de la mujer en los consejos de direccion. EnglishThe purpose of this research is to analyse the trends in data from monetary financial institutions (MFIs) in Portugal compared to the Euro Area. The analysis principally focuses on the period after the subprime crisis, which started in 2007 in the USA. Moreover, this article exposes some interesting data about corporate governance in Portuguese banks (e.g. governance model, gender, board dimension, executive compensation, board members’ qualifications). Of particular note is the fact that after the bail-out of Portugal in 2011, the Portuguese banking system started a process of downsizing evidenced not only by the reduction in the number of branches but also cuts to human resources. In terms of board characteristics, it is evident that the majority of Portuguese banks use the Latin model of corporate governance. Furthermore, only a small number of Portuguese banks are listed (a total of three were registered). Another aspect of note is the limited presence of women on boards of directors
