The Balearic Government has made effective this Thursday the extraordinary transfer of five million euros to the Consell de Ibiza to alleviate the damages caused by the heavy rains registered on the island on September 30 and October 12. The objective, according to the regional government, is to speed up the arrival of the aid and guarantee that the economic support arrives “as soon as possible” to those affected.
The transfer has been formalized after the official and telematic signing of the cooperation agreement between the Govern and the Consell de Ibiza, which took place this week. The Consell de Govern approved the allocation of the five million in aid on October 24 and authorized the drafting of the agreement with the Consell de Ibiza on November 7, previous steps that allowed the activation of the extraordinary package.
The aids cover homes and businesses The aids, non-refundable, are aimed at individuals, self-employed and businesses, as reported by the Conselleria de Presidencia. Individuals may use the funds to repair damage to homes, basic household goods or vehicles declared total loss, while businesses and professionals will receive between 2,000 and 10,000 euros depending on the accredited damage.
Additional infrastructure investments
This contribution is in addition to the 2.95 million euros (VAT included) that the Government had already invested through the General Directorate of Water Resources within the Plan of Emergency Infrastructure Actions in Ibiza, activated on October 13, 2025. Thanks to this investment, emergency works have been carried out in torrents and critical points, which has made it possible to restore the safety and functionality of several areas affected by the storms.
Institutional commitment
From the first episode of rains, on September 30, until the confirmation of the transfer this Thursday, the Govern maintains that it has activated all administrative mechanisms in less than two months to fulfill its commitment to the citizens of Ibiza: transparency, speed and institutional cooperation to minimize the impact of the damage and restore normality in the most affected municipalities.
Overall, the Govern has earmarked 7.95 million euros to alleviate the effects of the floods on the island, a figure that combines both direct aid and urgent interventions in infrastructure. This economic package, according to the Executive, will allow to accelerate the repair of the damages and support the reactivation of the most affected areas.
