Botànic faces the final stage to balance Generalitat’s 2023 budget, with a focus on Alicante above all else. State-by-state complaints are putting pressure on the response the Valencian Government will voice after announcing its commitment for next year, which leaves the border line once again in the queue for investments. make up for the province. The stingy allocation of funds by the government is accompanied by the fact that the majority of budgeted projects often end on dead paper because they are not actually implemented. Or the same thing: Many ads are just words and don’t translate into tangible actions. The numbers are as they are and reveal those of 1..107 million euros committed By central Admin for projects in the community Only 40% executed in 2021. In the case of Consell, the rate rose to 61% last year, with 16% of investments made for the current year through August 2022.
The latest data released by Generalitat’s General Response covers the period from January to the first half of the year. Consell’s accounts consider an item in terms of actual investments close to 1,525 million euros up to August. He had executed just over 243 million, showing that 84% of investment is pending. This is a fact that is often repeated every year, according to Ministry of Finance sources. Usually in the first half of the year, administrative procedures for the execution of projects are promoted and it is in the second half of the year that they take place.
However, the percentage of realization of investments by ministries varies significantly. For example, the leading Housing department Hector Illueca (Unides Podem) has one of the highest percentages, with 40.63% of funds already invested in an investment budget of 44.5 million euros. The innovation field has the lowest percentage with 0.32%. It was announced from the Ministry of Illueca that the acceleration in the purchase of mass housing is one of the main factors explaining the good data. Moreover, with the figures updated this week,Execution of investments increased to 75.95%has already executed 31,229,000 euros. They explain that once the mass housing process is standardized, it is expected that around 450 homes can be purchased each year with the annual donation. They are already about to reach that figure for this rent and they underline that it is not impossible to even increase the line of the investment section in order to continue purchasing. The department, led by Josefina Bueno (PSPV), details the addition of about 4.4 million euros from the Impulse Rehabilitation Program in July to the 1.1 million euros allocated for actual investments in their 2022 accounts. Public Buildings still not implemented in August.
In the Ministry of Equality and Inclusive Policies led by Aitana Mas (Compromís), whose investment budget is close to 98 million euros, 3.88% had been implemented by August. From this department, it should be noted that among the factors explaining this low execution, there is a clause from the Government’s European-funded Recovery and Resilience Mechanism that could be implemented until 2026, and therefore, this is not the case. money disappeared if not executed, but accumulated. On the other hand, due to the characteristics of the construction works, the construction of the project in the first years, the tender for its implementation, the zoning law and the zoning law and the beginning of the work. And since projects are paid according to work certificates, billing does not begin until the building is in the construction phase, which could be two years after the infrastructure was designed. They also underline that in the summary of expenditures committed for investments up to August, a percentage of 25% has been reached; this indicates that these are works that have already been tendered and are in the initial stages of construction. If this indicator is taken into account, taking into account the global number of ministries and departments subordinate to the Valencian Administration, 44% real investments They were already engaged.
Total investor volume doubled in one year
The degree of implementation of Generalitat’s investments by August reached 15.94% compared to 26.15% recorded until the same month of 2021. There is a decisive factor between both exercises. Last year, the real investment volume was 858 million. In the current year, it rises to 1.524 million due to the withdrawal of European funds. On the basis of departments, the Presidency is 6.36% until the first half of the year; Treasury, 16.34%; Justice, 9.86%; Regional Policy, 32.42%; Education, 15.18%; Health, 10.94%; Economy, 7.71%; Agriculture, 15.85%); and finally, Transparency, 2.66%.
