El difícil aterrizaje en el bolsillo de los hogares de una economía que vuela

The Spanish economy has been shining brightly in recent years, consistently ranking among the top performers in international assessments by major institutions. Economic indicators confirm this assessment: the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expanding faster than that of other major European economies, unemployment continues to decline, employment figures hit new records, and public finances remain stable.

However, the challenge lies on the streets. Literally. Households are now feeling the pressure from rising costs, particularly in food, energy, and housing prices. During the second day of the CREO forum, organized by Cinco Días and Prisa Media, experts extensively debated the various channels through which these economic improvements should reach households: pensions, wages, social assistance, and most importantly, housing.
