In the 1st quarter 2015
The balance between formed and dissolved corporations was positive
According to the data provided to Statistics Portugal by the Directorate General of the Policy of Justice, in the 1st quarter of 2015, the number of formed corporations headquartered in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (339) was higher than the number of dissolved corporations (209), which resulted in a positive balance between the formation and dissolution of corporations (+130). This result is largely connected to the formation of enterprises linked to the Madeira International Business Center (IBC). These enterprises had been licensed by the IBC in the end of 2014.
Breaking down the data by economic activity we note that the most expressive positive balance was observed in “Consultancy, scientific and technical activities” (+55), “Accommodation and food service activities” (+36) and “Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles” (+35). “Construction” (-11), “Transportation and storage” (-5) and “Financial and insurance activities” (-3) were the activities with the most pronounced negative balance.
