The regions of Girona, Ponent, and the Pyrenees led economic growth in Catalonia last year, according to the Regional Economic Yearbook published by BBVA this Monday. The study concludes that by 2024, most Catalan regions had already surpassed pre-pandemic activity levels, with the exception of Terres de l'Ebre.

The winter and spring rains have been a double-edged sword. Although they favored the growth of crops such as cereals, the high temperatures in June have turned these fields into flammable areas. This is how David Borrell, head of the Generalitat's Fire Department, explained to ARA, stating that Catalonia is under threat of "very violent" agricultural fires. The most recent cases are those on Tuesday in Sanaüja and Torrefeta and Florejacs (La Segarra), which were declared under control on Wednesday night, but ended with two fatalities and more than 5,500 hectares burned.
