Bosc\u00e0 Mar\u00e9s, Professor of Economic Analysis at the University of Valencia. Before a diverse audience, Bosc\u00e0 <strong>He analyzed Spain&#039;s current macroeconomic situation, highlighting GDP growth, improved employment rates, the slowdown in unemployment, and the progressive reduction in the deficit as positive signs of the economic cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professor also addressed the short-term outlook, emphasizing that 2025 is shaping up to be a year of continued recovery thanks to increased competitiveness, controlled inflation, and lower interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7147-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he also warned of the factors that could cause a<strong> slowdown in 2026,<\/strong> Such as uncertainty surrounding possible international protectionist measures (e.g., the tariffs proposed by Trump), the stagnation of the eurozone economy, or the lack of pending structural reforms in the labor market and public administration. Furthermore, the rapid transition from employment to unemployment, high savings rates that limit private consumption capacity, and the current housing crisis also have an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long term, it showed how GDP per capita is not growing, the country&#039;s productivity is chronically low, and the country&#039;s institutional quality is declining. Regarding public spending, it showed us that we have a structure similar to the rest of the European Union, but efficiency is not optimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event provided a space for calm and rigorous reflection on the economic challenges facing Spain, and highlighted the importance of combining macroeconomic stability with a sustainable reform agenda to consolidate medium- and long-term growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At C\u00e1tedra de Empresa y Humanismo, we appreciate the collaboration of Caixa Popular and the participation of Professor Bosc\u00e0, and we will continue working to promote economic knowledge for a more informed, fair, and responsible society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catedradeempresayhumanismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_7117-1-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, May 19th, the C\u00e1tedra de Empresa y Humanismo of the University of Valencia, together with Caixa Popular, held the conference &quot;Current Overview and Pending Challenges for the Spanish Economy&quot; at the financial institution&#039;s headquarters in the Paterna Technology Park.
