• The Spanish economy had an excellent 2024, exceeding forecasts with GDP growth around 3% and an unemployment rate of 11.2%.
• GDP growth above 2% is expected in the future, supported by cyclical and structural factors.
• Banking restructuring, leadership of Spanish multinationals, and inequality reduction policies have contributed to this growth.
• Unemployment is a critical issue; measures such as reducing working hours or increasing redundancy costs could help.
• The Eurobarometer indicates that housing is the main concern for Spaniards.
• The housing problem affects geographic mobility and productivity growth.
• The rapid reduction of the deficit is welcome but not enough due to high public debt and rapid population aging.

Conclusion: The Spanish economy is doing well, but there are still areas that need improvement such as unemployment and housing. The government coalition must continue to work to maintain and improve Spain's economy.
