Madeira's Public Debt Sees Significant Reduction in Third Quarter
Madeira GuideMadeira's regional public administration debt decreased by 6.0% in the third quarter of 2025, marking a significant reduction thanks to effective debt management strategies.

This is particularly crucial for Madeira, as it continues to attract tourists and investments, which are vital for its economic growth.
