The president of the Regional Government, Miguel Albuquerque, once again defended golf as the main bet to combat tourism seasonality in Porto Santo. The statements were made on the sidelines of the inauguration of Frutimade's first fruit and vegetable store, in the Penedo area, on the island of Porto Santo. Albuquerque highlighted the good moment the island is going through, with a tourist influx considered "considerable" throughout the summer, which is already extending into the month of September. During the visit to Frutimade's new store, the official highlighted the importance of the tourism sector for the local economy, also referring to the dynamics of hotels and restaurants in the region. The text indicates that the bet on golf continues to be presented as a strategy to boost the low season and attract more visitors to the island.

Will you receive the same if you request retirement with 40 or 48 years of contributions? See the impact on your pension

The article analyzes the differences between retiring with 40 or 48 years of contributions in Portugal, clarifying that years of contribution above 40 do not count just as three months each, but rather allow reducing the personal retirement age by four months for each complete year. With 40 years of contributions, it is possible to access early retirement through flexibility at age 60, but leaving before the personal retirement age implies penalties of 0.5% for each month of anticipation. With 48 years of contributions and at least 60 years, there is access to early pension without penalty under the very long careers regime. The pension value depends on various factors, including the best years of remuneration, and the calculation considers only up to 40 years of contributory career, although additional years can replace periods with lower salaries. Social Security recommends simulation before making any decision.
