Portugal's former Finance Minister has shown to be adept at handling his personal finances as his salary at the IMF, where he starts in June, will bring Vítor Gaspar a gross monthly sum of around 23,000 euros.
Gaspar was appointed in late February by Director General Christine Lagarde to the post of Director of Budgetary Affairs at the International Monetary Fund. It was while directing budgetary affairs in his last job as Portugal's Finance Minister that his performance could be assessed as mediocre, leading to his resignation and a weak goodbye statement.
