The Family Business Institute (IEF), which has links to the Catalan Association of Family Businesses (ASCEF), has called on central government to focus on recovery through a plan for «returning to normality» with «clear rules» for companies, safety protocols and sectoral actions in the face of the impact of COVID-19.

The IEF President, Francisco J. Riberas, said “the most important thing now is to prepare for this economic reactivation” and the important role of family businesses should be taken into account in the recovery process.

Mr Riberas has stated his support for new Moncloa Pacts that would improve the current model.
