• The Ibex 35 has surpassed 20,000 points, showing the strength of the Spanish economy despite political polarization, corruption scandals, and legislative paralysis.
• Investors continue to bet on Spain, which has shown to grow above the European average with a robust business and exporting framework.
• More than half of the capital of listed companies is in international hands, showing foreign investors' confidence.
• The Spanish economy needs citizens who understand the markets to diversify their long-term assets.
• Spain's economic vigor is partly based on European funds, which might not be permanent.
• Spain needs budgets that provide certainty and stability to businesses and investors.

Conclusion: The Ibex record suggests that Spain has a globally competitive economy. However, it is concerning that it may lose this advantage if the government fails to create a stable budgetary structure in the context of the eventual disappearance of European funds.
