The Government forecasts **€305 million** in direct investment in the Camp de Tarragona in **2026** and anticipates that the region will remain a priority in **2027**.
The €305 million in direct investment allocated by the budget for 2026 to the Camp de Tarragona represents a 170% increase compared to 2023. This is defended by Alícia Romero in an interview published by Diari Més, where she also indicates that the region will continue to be at the centre of next year's budget.
Romero acknowledges that the figure could be higher, while highlighting projects such as the renovation of the Hospital Joan XXIII, the TramCamp, the Judicial Forum, or investments in the Port of Tarragona. According to her data, the Generalitat disbursed €3.4 billion in investment across Catalonia in 2025 and expects to reach €4.3 billion this fiscal year, compared to less than €1 billion a decade ago.
“Surely it is not enough and we must continue to insist.”
The Government official also mentions the new Roman Heritage Consortium of Tàrraco and the projects to establish entities like the ICAC in the Tabacalera. Regarding the Reus airport, she argues that it needs to be strengthened for both family and business tourism, and recalls that the expansion of Barcelona's airport should be accompanied by a commitment to Reus and Girona.
As for the budgets for 2027, the Government tasked departments in July to begin designing them and approved in September the spending rules that set the framework. Work is ongoing within the Government, but negotiations with partners, the Comuns and Esquerra, are stalled due to the electoral period.
“Whoever wins on November 29, Catalonia needs a budget.”
For the residents of the Camp, the calendar marks when it will be known if these projects will have funding in the accounts: discussions will not begin until late November, after the state elections on November 29.
