Local authorities in La Palma have introduced financial aid measures to support the regional economy. Initially, the Cabildo de La Palma announced a 60,000 euro budget to provide subsidies for the operating expenses of local artisans and craft businesses. This initiative, managed through the Craft Service, aims to assist with the commercialization and modernization of artisanal products.

Subsequently, the Santa Cruz de La Palma City Council approved a separate line of subsidies specifically for businesses, self-employed workers, and entities affected by municipal construction projects. These compensatory subsidies are intended to mitigate economic losses caused by disruptions such as reduced visibility and decreased foot traffic resulting from urban improvement works.
