The bridge between growth and well-being “has broken” due to housing and prices, says the CES
In difficult times like the current ones, the Economic and Social Council (CES) sends an optimistic message about the situation of the Spanish economy, which it diagnoses as a structural improvement, but warning that this improvement does not sufficiently reach the well-being of the citizens. On the way, there is a broken bridge. “That bridge that existed in the second half of the last century between growth and well-being has broken in many pillars,” said its president, Antón Costas, at the presentation of the Report on the Socioeconomic and Labor Situation of Spain 2025.
