Cooperation with Maritime Authority contributed to strategy of developing the country's maritime dimension, stresses José Manuel Bolieiro
This week, the President of the Regional Government, José Manuel Bolieiro, received the Director-General of the Maritime Authority (DGAM), Vice Admiral Carlos Ventura Soares, at an audience to exchange greetings. José Manuel Bolieiro welcomed the presence of the DGAM in the Azores and highlighted the history of cooperation between the Navy and the Autonomous Region, which greatly enhances the strategic policy pursued by the Regional Government, pointing out that the country's maritime dimension is largely due to the Azores. "It is with great satisfaction that we acknowledge the history of cooperation between the Maritime Authority and the Autonomous Region of the Azores, which has significantly contributed to the strategy of developing the country's maritime dimension," stressed José Manuel Bolieiro. The President of the Government also stated that this cooperation with the National Maritime Authority is essential and "must be complementary to the joint management between the central and regional administrations in areas such as environmental defence and the economic impacts on the development of the Azores." This audience was also an opportunity to highlight the commitment of the National Maritime Authority in the Region, particularly in lifesaving, the fight against pollution, maritime signage and State authority at sea. This year, the Azores will take part in the ASAREX 24 international exercise, scheduled to take place between July 8 and 12, which will include national, Canadian and Spanish resources, as well as regional organisations, in the context of protecting human life at sea. The Atlantic Polex exercise aimed at supporting local authorities in the fight against pollution is scheduled to take place in Horta in 2025. With regard to maritime signage, and in addition to the existing protocols in the Region, Vice-Admiral Ventura Soares highlighted the opening of eight vacancies in the Auxiliary Lighthousekeeper category, which are expected to improve this service in the Azores. As for maritime policing, the DGAM announced the opening of 50 vacancies for Maritime Police officers nationwide in 2024, with another 50 vacancies planned for 2025. This reinforcement will increase the staff of the Regional Maritime Police Command, responding to the need for greater surveillance arising from the current revision of the network of marine protected areas of the Azores.

José Manuel Bolieiro received Joseph Stiglitz, 2001 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
This week, the President of the Regional Government, José Manuel Bolieiro, received Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, who is visiting the Region. Joseph Stiglitz is recognised as one of the creators of the theory of markets with asymmetric information. This theory explains how market failures can occur when two or more economic agents involved in transactions have qualitatively or quantitatively superior information compared to others. "The Azores are proud to welcome influential thinkers like Joseph Stiglitz. His arrival is a confirmation of the growing relevance of our Region on the international scene and a source of inspiration for all of us," stated José Manuel Bolieiro. Stiglitz graduated from Amherst College and holds a doctorate from MIT. In 2011, he was voted one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine. Currently, he is a retired professor of economics, business administration, and international business at Columbia University in New York. He also serves as the Chief Economist at the Roosevelt Institute. He is also one of the coordinators of the Committee on Global Thought, co-chair of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue and president of the International Economic Association. In the past, he was President of the Clinton Administration's Economic Council, and Chief Economist and Vice-President of the World Bank. Also in the context of the meeting, the President of the Government stated that this was "an opportunity to meet and dialogue with a relevant and inspiring figure." With his work, Stiglitz has helped to clarify contexts in which markets do not function correctly and has shown how selective government intervention can improve economic performance.
