    MARKETBEAT PORTUGAL AUTUMN 2020 A Cushman & Wakefield publication INDEX 06 34 ECONOMY HOSPITALITY 10 42 OFFICES RESIDENTIAL 20 50 RETAIL URBAN DEVELOPMENT 28 58 INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT & LOGISTICS ECONOMY Economic activity in Portugal suffered a significant impact in 2020 resulting from the period of mandatory confinement due to the outbreak of COVID-19, especially in the second quarter, with a contraction in GDP estimated at 16.3%. Exports, especially services, due to the importance of tourism, and private consumption, given the drop in non-food retail, are the most affected, with decreases of 21.6% and 8.0%, respectively. By contrast, the continued activity in the construction sector reduced the impact on investment, with an estimated drop of only 5.0%. According to Oxford Economics, these indicators contribute to a contraction of the economy in 2020 of 8.9%, higher than the Eurozone with an expected decline of 7.9%. The inflation rate is likely to remain at low levels, with a slight decrease of 0.2% in 2020, controlled by the European Central Bank so as not to exacerbate the effects of the crisis. At the same time, the deterioration of the labour market, given the difficulty companies have experienced in accessing financial support to address the reduction or temporary suspension of their activity and the discontinuation of the simplified lay-off scheme for employees, is likely to increase the unemployment rate to 7.2% in 2020. ECONOMIC INDICATORS 2020 € GDP INVESTMENT INFLATION -8.9% -5.0% -0.2% PRIVATE EXPORTS UNEMPLOYMENT CONSUMPTION RATE -8.0% -21.6% 7.2% Source: Oxford Economics 5 SOVEREIGN DEBT RATING After a period of positive recovery for the Portuguese economy, even achieving a budget surplus in 2019, the effects of coronavirus and the strain on households and companies may increase the debt ratio and threaten the resilience of the banking sector, namely in terms of non-performing loans and reserves.

  • Road Accidents and Their Costs: Case Study : IC19 Summary
    Road accidents and their costs: Case study : IC19 Summary It is estimated that road accidents are responsible for over 1.2 million fatalities every year, all over the world. In the countries that belong to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the death toll from these accidents rises up to 180.000. The data for 2007 points to 42 854 dead on European roads (EU 27), which represents a substantial reduction compared to 1997's 60 267 fatalities. In Portugal, road accidents alone represent the first cause of non natural deaths, with 776 fatalities in 2008, according to data from the Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (ANSR). In view of these facts, government entities have implemented a set of measures and actions to prevent road accidents. The most important of these measures was the implementation of Operation Zero Tolerance, Maximum Security when António Guterres was in office as Prime-Minister (between 1999 and 2002), the implementation of the Plano Nacional de Prevenção Rodoviária (PNPR), in 2003, under the PSD/CDS PP coalition government led by Durão Barroso and the National Strategy for Road Safety's (ENSR) implementation in 2008. This strategy was implemented by the joint action of the National Authority for Road Safety (ANSR) and the ISCTE, during the term of office of José Sócrates as Prime - Minister of the socialist government. Governo PS Governo PSD/CDS Governo PS PP Figure 1 – Statistics of the number of accidents with injured, seriously injured and fatalities in Portugal– 1999-2007 The mainland Portugal's road accidents were analysed, between 1999 and 2007 and a significant reduction of all road accident indicators taken in account (number of accidents with victims, number of fatalities, injured and seriously injured) was verified.

  • Air Pollution and Emergency Hospital Admissions—Evidences from Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal
    applied sciences Article Air Pollution and Emergency Hospital Admissions—Evidences from Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal Pedro Franco , Cristina Gordo * , Eduarda Marques da Costa and António Lopes Centre of Geographical Studies, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, Rua Branca Edmée Marques, 1600-276 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] (P.F.); [email protected] (E.M.d.C.); [email protected] (A.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 October 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 11 November 2020 Abstract: The relevance of air pollution in the public health agenda has recently been reinforced—it is known that exposure to it has negative effects in the health of individuals, especially in big cities and metropolitan areas. In this article we observed the evolution of air pollutants (CO, NO, NO2, O3, PM10) emissions and we confront them with health vulnerabilities related to respiratory and circulatory diseases (all circulatory diseases, cardiac diseases, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, all respiratory diseases, chronic lower respiratory diseases, acute upper respiratory infections). The study is supported in two databases, one of air pollutants and the other of emergency hospital admissions, in the 2005–2015 period, applied to the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The analysis was conducted through Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, while also using semi-elasticity to quantify associations. Results showed positive associations between air pollutants and admissions, tendentially higher in respiratory diseases, with CO and O3 having the highest number of associations, and the senior age group being the most impacted. We concluded that O3 is a good predictor for the under-15 age group and PM10 for the over-64 age group; also, there seems to exist a distinction between the urban city core and its suburban areas in air pollution and its relation to emergency hospital admissions.

  • Muslims in Lisbon: Diversity, Visibility and Intra‐ Community Dynamics
    The Local Emplacement of Muslims in Lisbon: Diversity, Visibility and Intra‐ community Dynamics Jennifer McGarrigle Centro de Estudos Geográficos, Universidade de Lisboa. 1 Author Jennifer McGarrigle Collection MIGRARE Working Papers 2014 Title The Local Emplacement of Muslims in Lisbon: Diversity, Visibility and Intra‐community Dynamics Publisher Centro de Estudos Geográficos Cover Design Ra Atelier ISBN 978‐972‐636‐243‐2 2 About the author Jennifer McGarrigle is a Research Fellow at the Centro de Estudos Geográficos, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. 3 Introduction In recent years, immigration to Portugal, and particularly to the capital city of Lisbon, has had a profound impact on the socio‐ethnic configuration of the metropolitan area. The incorporation of migrants into the city is evidently linked with processes of urban change (Malheiros 2012) as diversity is manifested though place‐making strategies at the local level and claims for recognition in the public sphere. Increasing religious pluralism is visible in the city as new places of worship mark the urban landscape (Fonseca and Esteves 2002). Yet, simultaneously there are complex stratums of visibility in Muslim Lisbon, in both human and built terms, as different communities have formed on the urban margins and appropriate ‘invisible’ spaces for rituals and worship. The purpose‐built Central Mosque, opened in the 1980’s, presides over a busy intersection in the centre of Lisbon as a symbolic assertion of Muslim presence in the city. The official mosque is an outcome of the endeavour for visibility that began in the 1960’s with the establishment of the Islamic Community of Lisbon (ICL) by ethnic‐ Indian Mozambican students (Machaqueiro 2011: 211).
