Portugal will build a new dam in the Algarve region, with an estimated investment between 150 to 200 million euros. The work is planned for the area of the municipalities of Alcoutim and Castro Marim, in the inland sotavento algarvio region.

The project is currently in the public consultation phase, which ends on October 12. During this period, citizens can submit their opinions and contributions on the plan for the new water infrastructure.

The dam aims to strengthen the storage and management of water resources in the southern region of the country, contributing to better supply conditions and local development.

Fintechs increase GDP by R$ 1.6 trillion in ten years and reduce costs with fees by R$ 149 billion, says study

A study by the Reglab research center, commissioned by Zetta (which brings together the country's largest fintechs, such as Nubank, Mercado Pago, and PicPay), revealed that digital financial institutions added R$ 1.6 trillion to Brazil's GDP between 2016 and 2026. Without fintechs, GDP in the first quarter of 2026 would be 2.2% lower, with emphasis on an increase of R$ 982 billion in consumption and R$ 371 billion in investments during the period. The research also calculated savings of R$ 149 billion for families and businesses in costs related to interest rates and bank fees, with R$ 102 billion referring to interest and the remainder to service charges. The analysis used a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) structural model.
