Volkswagen approved a plan that foresees laying off 50,000 workers. The decision was announced after a meeting of the executive committee of the board, held before the plenary meeting of the group.

The group's supervisory body, based in Wolfsburg, had a plenary meeting scheduled for the day the decision was announced.

The workforce reduction plan represents a significant measure by Volkswagen's management to restructure the company and potentially reduce operational costs.

Portugal's (limited) shield against rising interest rates

Portugal managed to reduce its public debt by more than a third over the past six years, which, combined with the fact that only a small portion of the debt is subject to rising interest rates, creates significant protection against higher financing costs.
