The provincial council of Bizkaia, Spain, will approve a fiscal reform focused on bolstering business competitiveness, not punishment or increased revenue. The reform aims to support investment, R&D, job creation, and work-life balance. This is in response to global economic uncertainty stemming from trade wars.
The reform prioritizes the needs of the business sector, acknowledging the potential negative impacts of global trade conflicts on exports and supply chains. The Diputación de Bizkaia will monitor the situation closely and seek solutions to ensure Bizkaia emerges stronger. Emphasis is placed on the urgency of a response, advocating for a strong, calculated, and proportional diplomatic response.
The Bizkaia Enpresa meeting recognized outstanding businesses in various categories (innovation, growth, internationalization, digital transition, green transition, and best startup trajectory). A study highlighted the ongoing challenges the business sector faces in areas like decarbonization, sustainable mobility, and the circular economy.
