The Business Association of the Coimbra Region (NERC) expressed today deep concern over the announced increase in fuel prices. Local business owners are demanding measures from the government to mitigate the impact of this increase on the operational costs of businesses in the region.
NERC represents a significant number of companies in the Coimbra region, which now face prospects of increased transport and logistics costs due to rising fuel prices.
The increase in fuel prices directly affects the competitiveness of regional businesses, especially those that depend heavily on goods transportation. Business owners warn that without intervention, many companies may see their economic viability compromised.
The association is calling on the government to implement support measures to protect the business fabric of the Coimbra region in the face of this scenario of sustained increases in fuel prices.
