Galicia commercial stimulus programs

Overview

Two commercial incentive programs in Galicia, the Xunta de Galicia’s “Bono Activa Comercio” and the Diputación de A Coruña’s “MercaNaVila”, have concluded with differing levels of consumer engagement.

The “Bono Activa Comercio” program, which had a budget of 2.5 million euros, saw approximately 1.4 million euros in sales mobilized in the province of Lugo within one week. In the city of Lugo alone, sales exceeded 503,000 euros. While the budget was eventually exhausted by November 4, local merchants noted a slower uptake compared to previous years, which they attributed to recent holidays and economic uncertainty.

In contrast, the “MercaNaVila” campaign in A Coruña, which utilized a 5 million euro budget, saw much faster consumption. The program mobilized 11.5 million euros in sales through over 200,000 operations and 102,000 downloaded vouchers in just 18 days. This initiative involved 1,143 establishments and aimed to support local shops against large retailers and online platforms.
