Catalonia has established new fiscal and operational frameworks regarding regional funding and infrastructure. 

At the macro level, the region will remain under a common financing regime rather than adopting a unique economic concert. A new funding model, negotiated between the Spanish Ministry of Finance, the Catalan Department of Economy, and Esquerra Republicana, is expected to provide Catalonia with an additional 4,686 million euros by 2027. This model maintains Catalonia’s position as the third largest contributor to and recipient of the system.

On a local level, regional authorities are implementing reforms to public transport. In Pallars Jussà, the Generalitat is increasing annual investments to modernize mobility through bus line consolidation and the digitization of the Demand-Responsive Transport network. In the Tarragona region, municipal agreements have been reached to fund bus lines using a ‘user-kilometer’ metric to distribute costs between Tarragona and La Canonja based on usage patterns.
