During the meeting, the windows of the 'Economic and Fiscal Regime' were also discussed. In this sense, the vice president of the Government and Minister of Economy, Industry, Commerce and Self-Employed, Manuel Domínguez, pointed out that the REF continues to be "a pole of attraction for foreign investment that today only represents 0.3 in our territory in our archipelago" and that the Canary Islands aspires to "continue increasing."
Digitalization as a way to improve the "productivity" of companies and also of the public sector, as well as the health of the tourism sector, the economic engine of the islands, were other issues discussed during the meeting held at the CEOE headquarters in Madrid.
