Foment del Treball criticizes low state investment in Catalonia
The Catalan employers' association Foment del Treball has expressed its strong dissatisfaction with the latest data on public investment in Spain. According to the organization, Catalonia received only 8.6% of the total investment executed by the State during 2025.
For business representatives, these figures are "intolerable and inadmissible." The association argues that this percentage does not correspond to Catalonia's economic weight within the country as a whole, which creates a sense of inequality in the Catalan business sector.
The report highlights that the lack of investment in infrastructure and strategic projects directly affects the region's competitiveness. Foment del Treball has requested explanations from the central government and has called for a greater commitment to improve budget execution in the Catalan territory in the coming years.
This issue once again brings the debate on regional financing and the distribution of public resources in Spain to the table. The association insists that greater investment is necessary to guarantee the economic development and well-being of the citizens of Catalonia.
