"Minho wants to take the leap"

The six municipalities of the Intermunicipal Community of Cávado expressed political support for the creation of a future Metropolitan Area of Minho, uniting Cávado, Ave, and Alto Minho. The president of CIM, Mário Constantino, argued that Minho is already a strong economic, social, and cultural reality, and that it is necessary to transform this strength into a political and institutional dimension to better defend the interests of populations and businesses. The statement highlights that the Minho territory generates 23.1% of GDP per capita, is the main national exporter with 49.8% export intensity, and maintains an unemployment rate of 7%, indicators that demonstrate the solid foundation for a higher-scale institutional cooperation.
