MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish holding Criteria plans to increase the value of its portfolio by 13 billion euros ($13.92 billion) by 2030 as part of its new five-year strategy, which also aims to reduce the weight that strategic sectors of the Spanish economy have within the portfolio.

In its 2025-2030 strategic plan, Criteria, which is the investment arm of La Caixa foundation, said it aims for its portfolio to have a gross value of 40 billion euros in 2030 compared to the 27 billion euros it was worth in 2023.

The weight that strategic sectors such as banking, energy or telecoms have in its portfolio will be reduced by 2030 to 55% from the current 74%, it added.

Sectors deemed to contribute to diversification - such as pharmaceutical, tech and retail - will have a weight of 25% in 2030 from the current 13%.
