This week has been crucial for Catalonia's future, as it appears a new regional financing agreement has finally been reached, after the current one expired more than a decade ago. It's a complex and highly technical issue, which we explain in detail in this report, comparing the different models that have existed and what is happening in other countries. We also interview two of the key players in the agreement, Oriol Junqueras and Alícia Romero, the Catalan Minister of Economy. Furthermore, we explain the background of these complicated negotiations, which, it's worth remembering, are not yet over and could fail if Junts and the rest of Pedro Sánchez's coalition partners do not support the model in Congress.
