Letter from the Chairman and CEO

The boost of CriteriaCaixa’s investment activity in 2024 has significantly increased the value of assets and set the company on the path towards achieving its 2030 Strategic Plan.

These record figures are the result of active investment management, the positive performance of both the strategic and diversification portfolios, and strong operational cash generation. Criteria’s financial strength continues the group’s industrial legacy and supports social progress.

The substantial increase in dividends will enable the ”la Caixa” Foundation to have the largest budget in its history. We are the leading investment group in Spain, driving economic growth, supporting businesses, and making a difference in people’s lives.
