According to the study, based on data from 2012 to 2019, 72% of tenders under the jurisdiction of the central government were awarded by bodies headquartered in the Community of Madrid, which managed 87% of the resources. The analysis, conducted by the Valencian Institute of Economic Studies and presented this December as part of the "Catalan Countries, Plundered Countries" campaign, also points out that 60% of the contracts went to Madrid-based companies. These firms accounted for 65% of the total economic volume, even though Madrid represents only 19.5% of the national GDP.</p>]]></description>
