The Minister of the Economy, António Costa e Silva, guaranteed that Portugal will fulfill 100% of the milestones and targets of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). The guarantee was given by the official, who stated that the country will execute the entirety of the subsidies planned in the plan.

According to the information released, Portugal plans to execute a total of 16.325 billion euros in subsidies under the RRP. This value represents the complete set of funds available to the country under the European recovery plan.

The promise of full completion of the RRP comes at a time of rigorous monitoring of the plan's execution by the European authorities, who verify compliance with the milestones and targets established as conditions for the release of financing tranches.

Quality apple harvest in Carrazeda de Ansiães but rain may cause damage

The apple harvest in Carrazeda de Ansiães, district of Bragança, is underway 10 days early due to heat, with fruit of excellent quality, good size and good coloration. This year's production is expected to be between 20 and 25 thousand tons, higher than last year's 15 to 18 thousand. However, forecasted rain may cause fruit drop and cracking, and hail could cause significant damage. Farmers face economic challenges, with prices between 40 and 45 cents per kilogram last year, considered too low given the increase in fuel and labor costs, threatening farm sustainability.

Family income commitment with debts rises to 29.8% in June and hits record, says Central Bank

The commitment of Brazilian families' income to debt payments reached a new record of 28.9% in June, according to data from the Central Bank, rising compared to 28.5% in May. The indicator, which measures the percentage of household budget allocated to debt installments, continues its upward trend despite the Desenrola 2.0 program launched by the federal government to renegotiate debts with lower interest rates. Excluding mortgage financing, the commitment stood at 26.6%. Meanwhile, overall indebtedness—which measures total debt relative to income—slightly declined from 49.9% to 49.8%, remaining at elevated levels.
