• Catalunya requires a fair and sufficient funding system.
• A federal model similar to the United States is proposed to improve equity and efficiency.
• The current funding system is inconsistent, inefficient and constitutes an obstacle to progress.
• The second alternative is a fiscal pact that ensures Catalunya's financial sufficiency.
• A thorough reform of the current funding system is proposed as a third alternative.
• Regardless of the final model, solidarity and equity between autonomous communities must be guaranteed.
• A “singular” financing proposal for Catalunya is expected in the coming weeks.

Conclusion: A deep debate and wide consensus is needed to determine the best autonomous financing model for Catalunya.
