With about 87% of the population completely vaccinated, Portugal has reopened its borders to vaccinated tourists from all over the world. Recuperating economically with the reduction of cases of the new coronavirus, Portugal is in the select list of countries that still boast the confidence of investors. According to an annual study by A.T Kearney, an important American financial consultancy, Portugal was one of the 5 countries that, in spite of the pandemic, did not lower its position or its score in the ranking. To the contrary, Portugal jumped a position.
On a scale of 1 to 3, Portugal registered 1.71 points, occupying the 20th position. The United States continue at the top of the list for the ninth consecutive year, with 2.71. In comparison, Brazil occupies the 24th place in the list, with 1.64. And the reason for the Portuguese growth in the ranking is that, lately, the country has created a series of benefits to attract small, medium and big investors, such as, mainly, the Golden Visa, a residence visa for foreigners who can make contributions.
For those who don’t wish to buy real estate and are thinking of opening a business in Portugal, the tip is to invest in one of the eight sectors that have been growing in the country. They are: real estate, agrobusiness, tourism, technology, IT (information technology), exportation, importation and, without a doubt, at the top of the list, renewable energy. This is because, as in other countries in the European Union, Portugal needs investments and solutions for “clean” energy to attain the goals of sustainability traced for the continent.
