In 2015
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 2015, the number of formed corporations headquartered in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (990) was higher than the number of dissolved corporations (800), which resulted in a positive balance between the formation and dissolution of corporations (+190). In the previous year this balance was negative (-47).
Breaking down the data by economic activity we note that the most expressive positive balance was observed in “Accommodation and food service activities” (+85), “Consultancy, scientific and technical activities “ (+71), “Arts, entertainment, sports and recreation activities” (+33), and “Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles” (+28). The activities that contributed more to the overall negative balance were “Construction” (-50), “Transportation and storage” (-17), and “Financial and insurance activities” (-13).
The 4th quarter was the only quarter in 2015 to show a negative balance between formed and dissolved corporations.
