The Catalan Economy in 2014 Macroeconomic indicators over the last few months indicate an improvement in the main economic variables.

When Joaquim asked me to write an editorial about China, I thought, “But I’m from Figueres!” Indeed, despite my looks, I’m about as Chinese as you, apart from my ancestral genes.

The economy is obviously the hub of our bilateral relations.

I have had the chance to meet Spanish people who have either gone to work in China or been posted there.
