Pradales has stated that the Basque Government is working to attract four business projects to the Basque Country
The President has pointed out that there is a new "era of continuous change" at the global level that leads to "unprecedented instability," and believes that the answer is "to activate one's capabilities, set a higher pace, and join forces," while advocating "attracting foreign investment."
The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, has stated today that work is under way to attract to the Basque Country four business projects linked to the food industry, energy collection, circular economy and automotive, and has ensured that, although the Basque socio-economic context is "positive", nothing can be considered safe and there is where to improve, so he has said that we must "anticipate and risk".
Pradales made these statements at the Economic Outlook Forum held this Tuesday in Bilbao by the newspaper El Correo and Banco Santander.
According to him, is experiencing a new "era of continuous change" globally, leading to "unprecedented instability," and believes that the answer is "to activate one's capabilities, set a higher pace, and join forces," while advocating "attracting foreign investment."
He has stressed that the recently adopted Euskadi 2030 Industrial Plan has an "ambitious" objective, to protect the fabric of Basque companies "from both external shocks and internal competitiveness problems."
Pradales has stressed that the Basque Government has historically always been inclined to "intervene" in the economy from a public-private perspective, "never from an imposition" and has said that they are now "taking advantage of that window of opportunity."
He recalled that by 2028 they are committed to activating 3.9 billion public and that they need "partners to make that trip together." He even stressed that they need to look "not only at country projects, but also at opportunities abroad." "We're talking a lot about attracting foreign investment," he said.
