The Valencian regional government, or Generalitat Valenciana, is facing a critical financial situation characterized by high debt and significant budget deficits. The head of the Valencian Community’s Court of Auditors, Vicent Cucarella, reported that the administration faces a financial debt of approximately 63 billion euros and a negative net worth exceeding 53 billion euros.

A substantial portion of this debt, over 54 billion euros, is linked to operations with the Official Credit Institute (ICO), including credit used for DANA disaster relief. The 2024 budget recorded a deficit of more than 2.2 billion euros, and the administration reportedly failed to comply with spending rules during that period.

In addition to general debt, the regional government has increased its claim against the Spanish government to 1.4176 billion euros to cover healthcare costs for displaced national and foreign patients. The administration argues that existing compensation models do not cover the actual costs incurred. Auditors have also raised concerns regarding healthcare contracts and the need for clearer frameworks to prevent improper cost transfers.
