Barcelona is the focus of the 2026 budget agreement signed by the Catalan government and ERC, with the deal setting out two of the main political priorities for the year ahead.
Among the key points are a new orbital railway line and increased funding for the Catalan language. The agreement was signed in Barcelona and forms the basis for the Generalitat’s budget plan for 2026.
The budget deal comes after negotiations between the Govern and ERC, and it links transport investment with support for Catalan, two areas that remain central to policy in Catalonia.
For readers following wider Catalan politics, the agreement sits within the latest regional budget process. You can keep track of related coverage on our news page.
