Plan for the Economic and Social Reactivation of the Canary Islands
Plan para la Reactivación Económica y Social de Canarias
Background information
The central objective of this comprehensive project is to maintain and strengthen basic services, such as health, education, social rights and housing, so that no one is left behind by the crisis, especially the most vulnerable groups. In addition, the Plan for Reactivation aims for the Canaries to get out of this situation with its different sectors strengthened, with recovered employment, with greater integral sustainability thanks to the application of the 2030 Agenda, with more competitive tourism, with more access to public housing, with a more modern administration and with the maximum possible development of key legal texts for the Canary Islands, such as the new Statute of Autonomy and Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF), whose reforms were approved in October 2018, as well as the reinforcement of the condition of the Canary Islands as an outermost region (OR) in the European Union (EU).
Content of measure
The Plan for the Social and Economic Reactivation of the Canary Islands (Plan Reactiva Canarias), conceived to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, foresees an initial investment of €5,725.7 million in the Islands from this year until 2023.
Of the €1,425 million for 2020, the maintenance of basic services and the strengthening of health and social-health capacities will have the sum of €440.4 million.
Other strategic blocks, such as attention to the most vulnerable population sectors (the elderly, women, child poverty, victims of abuse, the disabled, dependents, migrants, LGTBI groups, etc.), will have €45 million in 2020. However, the main efforts will be directed at economic activity, employment and administrative streamlining. Thus, €547.38 million are reserved for the economic and business impulse, while for the recovery and maintenance of employment they are €190.84. Administrative simplification and coordination, meanwhile, accounts for €200.5 million, with which it is intended to facilitate projects and licenses, save bureaucratic steps and thus boost the economy and employment. The investment is completed with €500,000 for the 2030 Agenda of the Canary Islands.
