• The proposed reform to the autonomous financing system would increase contribution by 20.975 billion euros annually for all communities starting from 2027.
• This increase would be achieved by raising the contribution from IRPF and VAT revenues to the autonomous regions to 55% and 56.5% respectively.
• Andalusia, Catalonia, and the Valencian Community would be the most benefited.
• Catalonia would recognize the principle of ordinality, going from being the ninth that receives the most to the third.
• The proposal is a commitment between the Government of Pedro Sánchez, PSC and ERC, and will be formally presented in the Council of Fiscal and Financial Policy.
• It would face resistance from right-wing parties, as well as with Compromís and Junts.

Conclusion: Although the reform proposal is widely supported in Catalonia and would bring tangible benefits to all autonomous communities, it still faces multiple obstacles before its approval.
