However, regarding the legal framework of insolvency and restructuring, the only direct, exceptional and temporary measure approved by the Portuguese authorities was to suspend the time limit for the debtor itself to petition for insolvency, with effect from 7 April 2020. No pre-insolvency exceptional measures have been adopted.
