How does Madrid's significantly higher contribution to Spain's national tax revenue and lower debt compared to Catalonia contradict the Cercle d'Economia's claims about its lack of solidarity?

The Cercle d'Economia's opinion on Spain's autonomous financing reform unfairly criticizes Madrid's solidarity. Madrid contributes 77% to the Fundamental Public Services Guarantee Fund and 44% of national tax revenue, significantly more than Catalonia (19.4% and 19.7%, respectively). Despite this, Madrid receives less funding and has lower debt.

The plan, part of an agreement between the Spanish government and Esquerra Republicana, requires significant contributions from Catalonia to interterritorial solidarity and dismantling of current Basque and Navarrese privileges to avoid regional disparities.
