The Ministry of Economy is negotiating the handover of a property to CIP (Confederation of Portuguese Industry) for a period it classifies as "extended," according to the newspaper Público. The executive did not specify what the concrete duration of this handover is, nor did it reveal details about the period in question.
The negotiations are taking place between the Ministry of Economy and the business confederation, but the government has not disclosed what obligations CIP will have to fulfill in exchange for the handover of the property. The Ministry of Economy refused to comment further on the agreement under negotiation.
CIP is one of the main representative organizations of the industrial sector in Portugal, representing companies from various economic sectors. The negotiation comes in a context of closeness between the government and social partners, with the executive seeking to involve the confederations in boosting the national economy.
