The Governing Board of the Catalan Finance Institute (ICF), the public promotion bank of the Generalitat de Catalunya, has welcomed four new independent members: Cristina Alba, Gloria Ausió, Albert Rosés, and Ricard Tubau. This renewal coincides with the end of the mandate of four other members, to whom the entity thanks for their dedication and contribution to consolidating the ICF as a key instrument for supporting the Catalan business and social fabric.
