A new monetary was in Catalonia
Recently, a group known as the Assembly of Representatives has presented an initiative that could mark a before and after in the Catalan economic landscape: the creation of a new currency, the Catalan pound. This proposal, which seeks to establish its own currency for the future Catalan confederation, has generated both expectation and controversy.
Details and features of the Catalan pound
The Catalan pound will be presented in values ranging from 1 to 1,000 pounds, with an initial broadcast of one million units. An outstanding aspect of this project is that the currency will be designed to be ‘parity’ with the euro, which aims to facilitate its acceptance and use in local shops.
A tribute to Catalan culture
Each ticket of the new coin will be illustrated with images of emblematic figures of Catalanism, such as Antoni Gaudí, Salvador Dalí, Francesc Macià and Carles Puigdemont. This decision seeks to strengthen the cultural and historical identity of Catalonia, emphasizing the importance of these characters in the history of the country.
Reactions and expectations
Although the assembly of representatives has a small number of followers on social media, its announcement has had a great impact, with tens of thousands of views. However, the reactions of the public have not been collected, leaving a gap in understanding how this new monetary project is perceived among the citizens.
An uncertain future for the new currency
The use of the Catalan pound will be restricted to the transactions between the registered members of the Assembly of Representatives, a fact that raises doubts about its viability and acceptance in the market. The question that remains in the air is whether this project will be able to make the leap from theory to practice and if it can really have a significant impact on the Catalan economy.
A look at Futur
The launch of the Catalan pound represents another stage in the complex relationship between Catalonia and its desire for self -determination. Only time will say if this initiative will be able to consolidate and what repercussions will have on the daily life of the citizens.
