India and China have undergone an unprecedented economic transformation in recent decades, but their growth trajectories have followed diverging paths. In this article, we compare the two models from a long-term perspective, breaking down the factors that have driven their economies: capital, labour and productivity.
The 20 economies that make up the Euro area have a single currency with a common monetary policy and, implicitly, a fixed exchange rate. However, in the last two years the region has suffered significant discrepancies in the inflation rates of its member countries. What is behind this dispersion?
In this two-part study, we look at how China has become the centre of gravity of Asian value chains in recent decades and how this has affected trade flows in the surrounding countries, and in particular those of ASEAN member states.

The Spanish economy is showing solid domestic demand and a capacity to continue to drive growth, if the international context allows it and if it can successfully overcome the main challenges it faces following the summer break.
After performing better than expected in the first half of 2023, global economic activity has experienced a slowdown in Q3 as a result of differing dynamics among the major economies. Below, we take a look at the outlook for the international economic environment.
We have developed a real-time indicator based on payrolls deposited into CaixaBank accounts in order to analyse wage trends in Spain. The indicator provides very up-to-date information on wage dynamics, with a high degree of detail at the geographic and sectoral level.
The financial position of Spanish households has improved in aggregate terms: incomes have grown significantly, wealth continues to recover, indebtedness has decreased, and the financial burden is at a minimum. However, generational inequalities persist.
