Toledo, July 9, 2024.<\/p>\n
According to data published by the Investment Register, Castilla-La Mancha recorded 151 million euros of gross productive investment in the first quarter of 2024, a figure three times higher than that recorded in the first quarter of 2023, and 244% higher than the average for the first quarters of the last decade.<\/p>\n
With these figures, the Castilian-La Mancha region will rank sixth among Spanish regions at the beginning of 2024.<\/p>\n
Breaking this amount down by type of operation<\/strong>, we can see that the largest share corresponds to acquisitions (87%), followed by other expansions and reinvestments (11.7%) and greenfield\/brownfield operations (1.3%).<\/strong><\/p>\n In terms of net investment, which subtracts divestments from gross investment, the region obtained a figure of \u20ac149.37 million in the first quarter of 2024, almost tripling the figures for the same period of the previous year.<\/p>\n Investments from the United Kingdom (92.6 million)<\/strong>, the Netherlands (38.8 million)<\/strong> and Portugal (17 million<\/strong>) stood out in Castilla-La Mancha in the first quarter of the year.<\/p>\n The above operations determine the sectorial distribution<\/strong> in the period: Repair and installation of machinery concentrates 61.3%<\/strong> of the productive flows received in the first quarter of 2024 in Castilla-La Mancha(93 million<\/strong>), followed by Food industry (25.7%, 39 million), Agriculture, livestock and hunting (11.6%, 18 million) and Energy supply (1.2%, 2 million).<\/strong><\/p>\n As a novelty, the Register offers for the first time the provincial distribution<\/strong> of investment flows. In the first quarter of 2024, Albacete<\/strong> stands out in Castilla-La Mancha, which concentrates 72.6%<\/strong> of the flows received in the region(109.6 million<\/strong>), ahead of Toledo (26.1%, 38.4 million) and Ciudad Real (1.3%, 2 million).<\/strong> <\/p>\n According to data from Orbis Crossborder Investment (Moody’s), 41 new cross-border greenfield investment projects have been announced in 2023 in Castilla-La Mancha, with an associated investment of $2.871 billion and generating 5,123 local jobs.<\/strong> This is the best record in terms of projects and investment since figures have been available, the second best in terms of employment. <\/p>\n The investment position or investment stock, very marked by the well-known ‘headquarters effect’, amounts to 2,050 million euros<\/strong>, 4.4% of the regional GDP (2022), after a strong increase of 54.5% in the last year. Property, plant and equipment, on the other hand, amounted to 6,698 million euros, 15.8% of the regional GDP. Castilla-La Mancha is the sixth region in Spain in terms of this variable in absolute terms, and third in relation to its GDP. <\/p>\n Finally, foreign-owned companies maintain 53,244 jobs in Castilla-La Mancha, 6.1% of the employed population in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Toledo, July 9, 2024.
