  "account": "The Independent Fiscal Responsibility Authority (Airef) estimates that Spain's primary expenditure will grow by 5.7% until 2028, exceeding the 3.2% committed to Brussels. The authority has raised its growth forecast for the economy to 2.6% this year and 2.2% next year. Airef warns that Spain's fiscal plan commitments to Brussels are drifting away and recommends that the Ministry of Finance, led by Arcadi España, define a complete fiscal strategy compatible with European commitments. The authority's projections indicate a accumulated deviation above the flexibility margin, and it suggests that regions at risk of non-compliance avoid adopting measures that increase primary net expenditure.",
