More than 70% of contracts for the Generalitat and the Catalan public sector, excluding emergency contracts, include social clauses. Last year, during which the ERC governed until May and the PSC governed from August, a total of 16,295 contracts were signed, for a value of €3.884 billion. Of these, 71.5% of the total and 76.5% of the overall economic volume allocated included a social clause. In absolute terms, this translates to 11,656 contracts with social measures for a value of €2.971 billion, "the highest figure ever recorded," according to data from the Ministry of Economy.
