According to the data provided to Statistics Portugal by the Directorate General of the Policy of Justice, in 2014, the number of dissolved corporations headquartered in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (836) was higher than the number of formed corporations (788), which resulted in a negative balance between the formation and dissolution of corporations (-48).
