Sardine fishing in the Algarve almost doubles and prices at the fish market rise amid strong demand

SIC Notícias6 September 2026 at 15:06

Sardine fishing in the Algarve almost doubled, representing a significant increase in the fishing activity in the region. Algarve fishermen are optimistic about the catch results, which have exceeded expectations.

Prices at the fish market rose due to strong demand for sardines from consumers. This appreciation of the product reflects the high demand in the market, both nationally and possibly internationally.

Algarve fishermen believe they have reasons to continue catching sardine, at least, until November. This positive outlook is due to the good catch results and sustained demand for the product.

The situation represents a favorable moment for the fishing sector in the Algarve, which has been able to meet the growing demand with abundant sardine catches.

S&P forecasts reinsurers to cut prices in 2027. And identifies opportunities

S&P Global Ratings maintains a stable outlook for the global reinsurance sector in 2026-2027, despite forecasting further price reductions in 2027, pressured by the high capacity available. The agency anticipates that global reinsurer ROE will decline from 12%-15% in 2026 to 10%-13% in 2027, and that the P&C combined ratio will deteriorate from 92%-95% to 94%-97%. Nevertheless, financial fundamentals remain solid, with 85% of companies with stable outlook and average rating at the upper end of the "A" category. S&P identifies growth opportunities in the insurance gap, particularly in cybersecurity, renewable energy and data centers, and recommends that reinsurers focus on specialization and innovation rather than competing solely on price.
