60 workers left unemployed after closure of footwear company in Vila Nova de Gaia

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 13:26

A footwear company located in Vila Nova de Gaia closed its doors a month ago, leaving 60 workers unemployed. The closure of the factory had a significant impact on the local community, with dozens of families affected by the sudden loss of their income.

This morning, the company's administrator appeared at the factory to take inventory of assets. The purpose of this visit was to make an inventory of the company's assets, which will be used to pay the accumulated debts.

The company's liquidation process is thus advancing, with the evaluation of available assets to satisfy creditors. The 60 workers are now in a situation of uncertainty regarding their professional future.

Had a car accident? Here are 6 things you should do to avoid insurance problems

The Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory Authority (ASF) recommends six essential precautions to take after a car accident to avoid insurance problems: check for injuries and, if so, contact the authorities; collect identification data of drivers, vehicles and their respective insurance policies; take photographs of the damage and the accident scene; identify and collect contact details of potential witnesses; correctly fill out the Friendly Motor Vehicle Accident Statement, without needing to agree on fault; and report the claim to the insurer within the legal deadline of eight days. The ASF warns that, even when the other driver admits fault, it is essential to collect all this information, as the determination of responsibility is subsequently analyzed by the insurers based on the available evidence.

Cheap money is over. Japan sees 10-year interest rate hit 3% for the first time in 30 years

The yield on Japan's 10-year government bond hit 3% for the first time since September 1996, signaling the end of three decades of cheap money that sustained global markets through the carry trade mechanism, where investors borrowed yen almost free of charge in Tokyo to invest in higher-yielding assets in other markets. The Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates to 1.25% at the September meeting, with an 80% probability assigned by the market. The yield rise occurs in a context of fiscal fragility, with about one in four yen of the 2026 budget destined for public debt service, equivalent to 204% of GDP. Paradoxically, the yen remains weak, hovering around 160 per dollar, despite joint currency intervention with the United States in July. Japanese investors are selling US bonds at historic volumes, which could pressure yields in developed markets.
