Fomento puts the investment deficit in Catalan infrastructures at 49,543 million euros
According to the entity, the lack of investment in the last 16 years has been aggravated by "a disastrous" public management
BarcelonaA study by Foment del Treball estimates the investment deficit in Catalan infrastructure at 49,543 million euros between 2009 and 2025. "It is alarming, profoundly outrageous, and absolutely intolerable," assured the entity's president, Josep Sánchez Llibre, this Monday during the report's presentation. In his opinion, this situation has been aggravated by "a disastrous" public management that "is not corrected, but is becoming more serious every day." In a press conference, he warned that the lack of investment directly impacts the competitiveness of companies and the well-being of citizens. Faced with this, Sánchez Llibre urged the Government and all parliamentary forces to find "a definitive solution" and create an organization capable of ensuring this does not happen again.
The data arises from the difference between the tenders observed and a threshold of 2.2% of Catalan gross domestic product (GDP) which, according to the study, should serve as a reference.
