ADN challenges positive view of the Regional Government: living in Madeira is increasingly expensive

Funchal Notícias12 September 2026 at 18:44

The ADN Madeira issued a statement criticizing the positive view of the Regional Government regarding the economic situation. The party considers that the economic results presented are increasingly distant from the reality experienced by many Madeiran families.

According to the data cited by the party, regional year-on-year inflation stands at 4.1%, a figure higher than the 3.3% recorded nationally. This difference shows, according to ADN, the worsening of the cost of living in the region.

The statement also highlights significant increases in various sectors, with energy products registering a rise of 14.2% compared to the previous year and transport increasing by 8%. These data reinforce, for the party, the discrepancy between the governmental narrative and the real impact on families.

Why this matters

Readers in Madeira face a growing cost of living, with regional inflation surpassing national inflation, which worsens the purchasing power of families. This ADN analysis comes following the economic data presented by the Regional Government, questioning the official narrative about the region's economic situation and alerting to the gap between macroeconomic indicators and the daily reality of residents.
