Economic revitalisation has been one of the AMB's priorities during the period 2011-2015. Thus, with the aim of reinforcing metropolitan assets and turning them into a source of new jobs and business activity, the Economic Development Department has been created under new powers granted by Law 31/2010.
One of the main outcomes of this has been the implementation of the "Friendly for Business" programme, whose main objectives are to reindustrialise the region, drive economic activity, encourage new investment and create high added-value jobs, through a set of services aimed at small and medium investors, both foreign and local.
The AMB has also encouraged the creation of jobs and economic recovery through specific investment plans, such as the Metropolitan plan to support town councils, stimulate economic activity and improve quality of life; the Plan to support municipal social policies; and the Metropolitan investment plan itself.
