This Working Paper analyzes the 2024 settlement of the financing system for Spain's common-regime autonomous communities. It calculates the definitive financing for homogeneous competences, which grew by 9.45% compared to 2023. It also quantifies interregional redistribution flows and the evolution of resources until 2027.

The new National Housing Plan 2026-2030 seeks to increase the scarce public housing supply in Spain. Despite tripling resources and safeguarding public ownership, its budget allocation is insufficient given the high rate of household creation.

This Working Paper proposes a set of quantitative indicators of territorial equity to assess reforms to the regional financing system, comparing the current model with the Government’s recent proposal and several variations aimed at reducing arbitrariness.
