This figure, announced by President Salvador Illa during an event at the Palau de Pedralbes, highlights the impact of these resources on the region's economic, social, and environmental transformation, contributing to growth.
Of the 4.076 billion allocated to Catalonia through sectoral conferences, the Generalitat had published calls and tenders worth 4.170 billion by March 31. Currently, 3.241 billion have been committed, representing 78% of the total published, according to data from the Catalan executive.
