After a few difficult years, in which the Vallesan entity <a href="https://es.ara.cat/economia/tecnologia/continuidad-leitat-manos-bancos_1_5257414.html" >It was forced to lay off 114 workers and accumulate debt that made its existence difficult.</a> –which has survived largely thanks to the public injection of almost ten million euros from the Generalitat–, the center now seeks to enter a new era under the leadership of a new president, Ramon Pastor, a long-standing figure in the Catalan technology sector. Furthermore, the Círculo de Economía will have a woman as president for the first time in its history, and Carles Puig de Travy will repeat as dean of the College of Economists of Catalonia. These and many others are some of the main executive signings of the week.</p>]]></description>
