The Consell de Mallorca settles the debt of 2.4 million outstanding invoices of subsidies from 2019 to 2022 to companies and businesses

The Councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, Pilar Amate, reported that ‘the debt that we inherited from the previous legislature has now been paid and we have shown that we are a responsible government and we have made every effort to bring the payments that the beneficiaries demanded from day one up to date. Finally, everyone has received the payments they had pending with this administration’.

‘The payment of these unprocessed invoices has been made in less than a year, thanks to the work and effort of the Department’s technicians, who have worked hard to resolve a large volume of backlogs, some of which had not even been processed’, said Pilar Amate.

Specifically, between 2019 and 2022 Economic Promotion and Local Development awarded 342 subsidies of which 162 were resolved and another 180 were pending processing. This means that 53% of the total number of subsidies awarded by the government of the pact that led the island institution during the last legislature remained unpaid.

The 180 files pending resolution as of 14 July 2023, from the calls for proposals between 2019 and 2022, have been fully resolved.

‘My department currently has a good working team, with a good degree of professionalism and high motivation’, stressed the Councillor for Economic Promotion.

For its part, the call for local products also approved by the previous executive in 2023 has already been resolved in its entirety in the current financial year.
