"We lose competitiveness every day because of fuel prices", warns AEMinho

Jornal de Negócios9 September 2026 at 13:00

Ramiro Brito, president of AEMinho, warned that Portugal is losing competitiveness daily due to fuel prices. The responsible party for the association pointed out that the increase in fuel prices is directly affecting businesses and their ability to invest.

The president of AEMinho called for a reduction in fuels "related to productive factors", arguing that these measures are essential to boost the regional economy. This position comes in a context of pressure on the operational costs of companies.

Brito also warned that the increase in diesel and gasoline is retracting investment from companies, creating an environment of uncertainty for the productive sector. This reduction in investment may have long-term consequences for the competitiveness of companies in the region.
