Government prepares new support for sectors affected by rising fuel prices

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 14:16

The Government is preparing new support for the freight transport, firefighters, social sector and taxis sectors, to compensate for the impact of rising fuel prices. The announcement was made by the Minister of Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho.

According to the minister, a set of support measures that had already been implemented previously and ended on June 30 is being prepared. These support measures will now be resumed for the affected sectors.

Maria da Graça Carvalho also stated that the proposal for new support measures should be taken to the Council of Ministers for discussion and possible approval. The minister spoke to journalists about these compensation measures.

Why this matters

The directly affected sectors — freight transport, firefighters, social sector and taxis — may benefit from financial support to mitigate the increase in operational costs. The measure represents a resumption of previous aid, responding to the persistent pressure of fuel prices on these professionals and organizations.
