Portugal Marketbeat Retail Q4 2020 M A R K E T B E AT PORTUGAL Retail Q4 2020 YoY 12-Mo. ECONOMY: Second General Lockdown Will Affect Economic Growth Chg Forecast In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Portuguese economy contracted by 7.6% in 2020, with a fall of 20.6% in exports, a €955 drop of 7.8% in investment and of 5.1% in private consumption, according to Moody’s Analytics. Average Monthly Income The current deterioration of the sanitary situation, with a second general lockdown declared and a protracted vaccination campaign, is expected to condition economic growth at least during the first semester of 2021. Consequently, Moody’s Analytics foresees a 10,241K 5.6% GDP growth in 2021, impacted by an increase in investment of 3.8%. Nevertheless, inflation will remain at low levels, helping Population creditors’ ability to pay and stimulating corporate investment. Sales in shopping centres contracted by 20.9% in last October, according to the latest data by APCC, but should have improved 7.4% closer to the end of the year. Overall, retail sales registered a drop of 2.9% year-on-year until November 2020, according to INE.

  • Portugal's Wine Globalization Waves, 1750-2015
    European Historical Economics Society EHES WORKING PAPERS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY | NO. 113 Portugal’s wine globalization waves, 1750-2015 Pedro Lains Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon MAY 2017 EHES Working Paper | No. 113 |May 2017 Portugal’s wine globalization waves, 1750-2015* Pedro Lains Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon Abstract From 1750 to 2015 we may detect three waves of globalization of wines produced in Portugal, namely, port wine exports for the British market in the 18th century, common wines exports to France in the second half of the 19th century, and finally the growth of exports to European markets from the last decade of the 20th century up to the present times. This chapter explores the fundamentals of such waves looking at trends in output, productivity, domestic and foreign consumption, commercial agreements and economic policies. The first two waves came to halt as conditions in the foreign markets changed, because they did not have a solid domestic base of production and commercialization. The chapter argues that the third wave is of a different kind as it developed from a more solid domestic base of the wine sector that had developed for decades based on domestic consumption. Thus we may conclude that wine globalization is also about changing domestic economic conditions. The process was however long and painful, as the sector had a very irregular performance throughout the 20th century which is however related to the overall backwardness of the Portuguese economy in the European context. JEL classification: N53, N54, O13, Q11, Q17 Keywords: Portugal; Agriculture; Wine; Globalization; Domestic markets; Competitiveness.

  • Portugal S Breathtaking Silver Coast
    ATLAS PROPERTY PORTUGAL PORTUGAL S BREATHTAKING SILVER COAST T:+351 262 833 500 E: [email protected] W: www.atlaspropertyportugal.com ATLAS PROPERTY PORTUGAL The Silver Coast The Silver Coast of Portugal or Costa de Prata is listed as the No 3 investment region in Channel 4's "A Place In the Sun". The region is incredibly beautiful and possesses not only some of the best beaches in Europe but also picturesque medieval towns and villages where the people are friendly and welcoming. The rolling countryside offers patchwork of vineyards and fruit & market farming whilst the Atlantic coast yields some of the best sea-food in Portugal. With the cost of living a fraction of the Algarve and the opening up of the region by the A8 motorway from Lisbon, the area is becoming a popular investment & holiday destination. Some of the best golf courses in Portugal including true links can be found in this region. It is more favoured by golf enthusiasts than the Algarve as the courses are quieter, cheaper and better. Properties on these resorts have experienced strong capital growth over the last few years and demand continues to be strong. Property outside resorts can still be found at incredible prices e.g. in towns like Lourinha but these are set to rise as the region continues to be discovered by investors and holiday makers across Europe & further afield. With learnings from the Algarve, the Government is carefully controlling the developments in the area to ensure the beauty of the Silver Coast region is maintained. This has slowed down the construction but improved the quality which is good for any new investor.

  • Avaliação Do Enchimento Sedimentar Holocénico Na Planície Aluvial Da
    1 AVALIAÇÃO DO ENCHIMENTO SEDIMENTAR HOLOCÉNICO NA PLANÍCIE ALUVIAL DA NAZARÉ (ESTREMADURA PORTUGUESA) Maria Virgínia HENRIQUES*; Jorge DINIS** * virgí[email protected], Departamento de Geociências, Universidade de Évora, 7000-671 Évora ** [email protected], Departamento de Ciências da Terra, Universidade de Coimbra, 3000-272 Coimbra Palavras-chave: Planície aluvial, último máximo regressivo, estuário lagunar, Holocénico, lagunas. Introdução A plataforma litoral da Estremadura é afectada por um sistema de estruturas diapíricas de orientação geral NNE-SSW, com troços de contorno irregular e limitadas por escarpas de falha. Deste sistema destaca-se a falha que origina o “Diapiro das Caldas da Rainha”, identificada entre Pombal e a Praia de Santa Cruz, com expressão geomorfológica particularmente clara entre a Nazaré, Serra d’El-Rei e Bolhos, numa faixa com cerca de 30 km de comprimento e 2 a 8 km de largura. A erosão do núcleo desta estrutura tectónica durante o Quaternário deu origem a uma depressão, em grande parte inundada pela transgressão flandriana. Com o presente estudo pretende-se analisar o enchimento holocénico da depressão, incidindo em particular no antigo estuário lagunar da Pederneira. A interpretação da série sedimentar é baseada em sondagens realizadas na planície aluvial actual. O estudo da evolução da área lagunar inclui a definição da extensão máxima, estabelecendo-se correlações entre o enchimento, a informação histórica e as variações do nível do mar de escala regional ou global. Através desta análise se pode, em corolário, tentar avaliar a influência relativa e mútua dos forçadores naturais e antrópicos, podendo contribuir para aferir as fragilidades ambientais ou os limiares de absorção do impacto antrópico.

  • Caldas Da Rainha
    Caldas da Rainha ABOUT The town owes its name to the thermal spring that was much appreciated by Queen Dona Leonor, wife of the 15th century King Dom JoãoII, who had the opportunity to confirm the curative properties of these waters when they cured her of a wound that for a long time had not healed, although she had tried various treatments. As the waters were much in demand at the time by the local people, who bathed in them to cure their ailments, the Queen ordered a hospital to be built so that they could treat themselves in some comfort. Around the hospital a village was formed, which came to be known as "Caldas da Rainha" (The Queen`s Hot Springs). The town continued to grow, reaching its heyday in the late 19th and early 20th century, at a time when it was fashionable to take a holiday in a spa resort, and Caldas da Rainha was one of the places chosen by the nobility and aristocracy. During the Second World War, too, the town was chosen as a place of refuge by many foreigners fleeing from persecution by the Nazis. Caldas was the birthplace of important figures in Portuguese culture, notably the painter José Malhoa (C.19), whose work can be admired in the museum named after him in the Thermal Park (Dom Carlos I garden); also born here was Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, the 19th century caricaturist, who founded the pottery factories of Caldas da Rainha where the popular Caldas pottery began to be manufactured, of which the best known pieces are those containing characteristics humour.

  • O Sítio Campaniforme De São Gregório (Caldas Da Rainha)*
    O sítio campaniforme de São Gregório (Caldas da Rainha)* JOÃO LUÍS CARDOSO** RESUMO A estação campaniforme de São Gregório (Caldas da Rainha), uma das mais setentrionais da Estremadura, caracterizada pela ocorrência de produções campaniformes incisas, corres- ponde certamente a pequeno sítio de carácter familiar, que se integraria, como os seus homó- logos da Baixa Estremadura, em espaços económicos alargados, geridos por povoados mais importantes, situados em locais estratégicos. Na região imediata, sítios semelhantes aos de Outeiro de São Mamede (Bombarral) e Outeiro da Assenta (Óbidos), ainda não cabalmente identificados, poderiam corresponder a essa realidade dual da ocupação humana do território no decurso da segunda metade do III milénio a.C. ABSTRACT The beaker site of São Gregório (Caldas da Rainha), one of the northernmost of the Estremadura region, is characterized by the occurrence of incise beaker fragments and corresponds surely to a small establishment of a familiar basis. It was integrated, like its homologous settlements of Low Estremadura, in large economic areas managed by more important settlements located in strategic places. In the adjacent region similar sites are unknown but they would be similar to those of Outeiro de São Mamede (Bombarral) and Outeiro da Assenta (Óbidos), illustrating the dual reality of the human occupation of the region during the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. 1.

  • A Presença De Refugiados Espanhóis Nas Caldas Da Rainha Durante E Após a Guerra Civil De Espanha (1936-1950)
    A PRESENÇA DE REFUGIADOS ESPANHÓIS NAS CALDAS DA RAINHA DURANTE E APÓS A GUERRA CIVIL DE ESPANHA (1936-1950) Carolina Henriques Pereira1 Doutoranda em História Contemporânea BREVES CONSIDERAÇÕES A cidade portuguesa de Caldas da Rainha – localidade pertencente ao distrito de Leiria e, em simultâneo, à sub-região oeste e à região centro do país - possui uma longa tradição no que concerne à receção de estrangeiros. Ainda que o tipo de acolhimento se tenha diferenciado consoante as épocas e as circunstâncias, o que é facto é que a população desta localidade se habituou a lidar com esta realidade. Numa primeira fase, com a vinda de emigrados Bóeres, em 1901, na sequência da Guerra Anglo-Boer (1899-1902), que opunha o Império Britânico às nações Bóeres - República de Transvaal (República Sul Africana) e o Estado Livre de Orange – pelo domínio da África do Sul2; num segundo momento, sobretudo a partir da década de 1920, com a chegada de inúmeros espanhóis em busca de melhores condições de vida e, na década seguinte, em fuga da repressão franquista e da Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936- 1939)3; e, a partir da década de 1940, com a presença de refugiados judeus e não-judeus em fuga de Hitler e da Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945)4.

  • ÓBIDOS – PORTUGAL Small Cities Great Visions
    On-going processes within the partnership | Óbidos, Portugal ÓBIDOS – PORTUGAL Small cities great visions URBACT II TN5 | Creative Clusters in Low Density Urban Areas – Baseline Study 33 On-going processes within the partnership | Óbidos, Portugal LOCATION AND ECONOMY: AN INTERMEDIATE REGION 45 MINUTES FROM LISBON. Óbidos is located in the Western Tourism Region of Portugal, near the sea, within the District of Leiria. With a population of 10.875 inhabitants, according to the 2001 census, the village is 80 kilometres North of Lisbon, connected by highway, and 245 kilometres from the city of Oporto. In Caldas da Rainha, 5 km from Obidos, one can find the District Hospital, the oldest Thermal Hospital in the world and several museums as well as the Art and Design University. Due to its geographical position and impressive built heritage, Óbidos becomes more attractive for tourism, reuniting excellent road structures, and pleasant weather conditions. According to the 2001 census, 50% of the working population is part of the tertiary sector where tourism plays a main role. The peculiar features that Óbidos offers make this town extremely appealing for tourist development, representing the most important activity for the local economy by far. In what concerns the industrial sector, food processing, construction and furniture have to be underlined. Small businesses absorbed the excess agricultural employees, consequence of an agricultural exodus (however, not necessarily a rural exodus). Concerning the primary sector, the main source of sustenance for the local population comes from the natural resources where agriculture is, undoubtedly, important. It’s a vital sector in local economy, especially horticulture, fruit and wine, all representing around 34% of local employment.
