This advisory body, chaired by Luís Mira Amaral, consists of 15 key figures from the business and academic sectors.
The initial meeting discussed several issues, including the demographic challenge and reforms in labor legislation, state governance, and the tax system, according to a statement. On the latter topic, the council emphasized the urgent need for process simplification to make the “state machinery” more agile and flexible.
