The investment of the different public administrations in technology will experience a historic year in 2022, with growth that from the specialized consultancy Adjudicaciones TIC, they place in 5%.
In this sense, the company highlights that this year investments in technology will continue to rise, a trend that has been observed since 2015 and that will mean 4.58% more compared to 2021, with 2,085 million euros, a figure which will reach 3,282 million euros if we include the recovery and resilience mechanisms approved by the EU.
“These figures have never been seen, so the business opportunities for companies that work with the Public Administrations are unmatched”, he points out in this regard Carlos Canitrotconsulting director of AdjudicacionesTIC.
By ministries, in the chapter on current expenses of the General State Budgets, the increase in investments of the Ministries of Health stands out, with a 85.6% growth forecast; Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, with an estimate of 41.3%; or that of the Presidency, with a perspective of increase of 30.3%. On the opposite side is the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration, whose spending forecasts are reduced by 15.5%.
On the side of investments in technology, the most dynamic ministries during 2022 will be those of Finance and Public Administration, with investment estimates above 58%; and Foreign Affairs, EU and Cooperation, with a forecast of 40.1%.
On the contrary, the areas that most reduced their investments in technology in this period will be Education and Vocational Training, with a reduction of 22.2%; and Social Rights and Agenda 2030, with 16.4% less estimated investment.
To carry out this analysis, AdjudicacionesTIC has extracted the items related to technology within each economic sub-concept of chapters 2 (current goods and services) and 6 (material and immaterial investments) of the more than 300 agencies of the General State Administration included within of the General State Budget Law of December 28, 2021.
