Oriol Amat<\/strong><\/a>, full academician of the Royal European Academy of Doctors-Barcelona 1914<\/strong> (RAED), president of the Catalan Association of Accounting and Management<\/strong><\/a> and deputy in the Catalan Parliament asserts that, economically, Catalonia is comparable to most European economies, although it lacks big companies, a lack that it shares with the rest of countries of the south of Europe. “It’s often said that Catalonia is a country of SMEs, but I would say that all the industrialized countries are the same. In Catalonia, 97% to 98% of the fabric is microenterprise and small and medium enterprises. It’s a percentage similar to the countries that do have large companies, such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom or the Netherlands. There, instead of 98% of SMEs, they are 96%. Here we would lack, as in Spain, Portugal, Greece and to some extent Italy, large companies”, Amat says in an interview published by the newspaper El Punt-Avui<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Amat points out that the diversification of sectors is the great strength of the Catalan economy, as well as that the industrial sector represents 20% of its GDP, the objective that marked the European Union to its members in the year 2020. “Catalonia has a relevant industrial weight – continues the academician-. The first sector is the food industry, followed by chemistry, car, pharmaceutical and a succession of sectors representing between 1% and 2%. Some, riding between the industrial and services, such as the one that depends on health, very dynamic at the moment in Barcelona and throughout Catalonia”.<\/p>\n

For Amat, the Catalan economy should take as an example the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Finland) and other countries of its size with a long democratic trajectory like Austria, where a dynamic and innovative private sector coexist with a strong public sector that guarantees the welfare of its citizens. “A feature of these economies is the collaboration between the private and public sectors. They have a powerful private sector, a very powerful, prestigious and efficient public sector, and they also have a third sector, the world of cooperatives, foundations and NGOs, very solid”, he concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
