Together with the investor's guide we publish the «Why Portugal 2019 – How does Portugal compare?» report, which shows the situation of Portugal in comparison to other countries according to information from international sources such as the World Bank and the Economic Forum Comparative tables on the most important aspects to be taken into account by investors when choosing the best places to invest. 

"We are delighted to have been able to review and update the information provided by our investor guide. These reports represent the effort of many people and demonstrates a remarkable organization capacity that shows the way we work," says António Vitorino, the partner in charge of the"?WhyPortugal?"project since it started off in 2013. 

"After several years of crisis, during which it was difficult to explain the advantages of Portugal both to foreigners and to Portuguese, today it even seems easy to praise Portugal," added António Vitorino. "But we must always try to improve. The competitiveness of an economy always depends on its ability to innovate, to correct the worst and to improve the best. Competitiveness is a race: we cannot stop."
