The Portuguese Government is preparing new support for the economic sectors most affected by rising fuel prices. This measure comes in a context of significant increase in energy costs that have impacted various sectors of activity in the country.
The measures being developed should follow similar rules to those applied in previous support. The executive intends to maintain the continuity of mechanisms already tested to respond to similar crisis situations.
The support under preparation may take two distinct forms. On one hand, the possibility of direct per-vehicle support is on the table, mainly aimed at the transport sectors. On the other hand, the implementation of a discount or subsidy per liter of fuel consumed is also being considered, which would allow a broader coverage of affected sectors.
