DREM updates the Regional Development Composite Index (RDCI)
The RDCI results for 2016 released today by Statistics Portugal (INE) show that the metropolitan area of Lisbon remains as the only region above the country’s average regarding the overall index, with this indicator reaching 106.59 (106.40 in 2015). In the Autonomous Region of Madeira the index stood at 93.64 in 2016, increasing slightly from 2015 (93.31).

The competitiveness index was also higher in the metropolitan area of Lisbon (113.34), once again the only region above the country’s average. The Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira show the worse results, with Madeira scoring a value of 88.03 in 2016 (87.44 in 2015).
The values of the cohesion index are more balanced at least for mainland Portugal. The Autonomous Region of the Azores has the lowest cohesion index (78.11), while Madeira scored 84.28 in this indicator.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira was the leading NUTS 2 region in the environmental quality index in the year 2016 (109.82).
