State budget does not focus on private investment
The article by Pedro Catão Pinheiro explores Portugal's ARI (Golden Visa) and other programs, which aim to attract foreign investment in fields like tourism, tech, and urban renewal, particularly in rural areas. Pinheiro argues for expanding rather than restricting these incentives, as they have boosted economic growth and job creation. He also highlights the Non-Habitual Resident Tax Regime, which has proven appealing to international investors. Pinheiro sees such programs as vital for Portugal's long-term economic health and competitive position in the global market.
