The European Parliament elections this June were held at a key moment for the European construction process, taking into account the economic, political and social challenges that our continent must address in the coming years. Many of these challenges are discussed in the Dossier of this Monthly Report, ranging from the loss of competitiveness in a world that is undergoing a reconfiguration of value chains and relationships between economic blocs, to the revitalisation of productivity and technological development, to the need to push ahead with the capital markets union.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the agrifood sector as a mainstay of the Spanish economy. During the months of lockdown, the entire food chain (which includes farmers, breeders, fishermen, cooperatives and the food industry, wholesalers, retailers, distributors and logistics operators) had to adapt quickly to secure the population's food supply. In retrospect, it is only fair to acknowledge the excellent response by the whole sector in tackling this challenge.
Given the dramatic decline in demand, house prices are likely to undergo some adjustment in the period 2020-2021, although there will be significant differences depending on the property's location and type. Specifically, we expect house prices to fall more sharply in the second-hand market and tourist areas, which have been severely affected by the restrictions on international travel.
The hospitality sector was among those hardest hit by the consequences of the pandemic as it was at the epicentre of the social distancing measures used to contain the spread of COVID-19. Although official indicators point to the sector’s clear recovery in 2022, this has not been across the board. An analysis of CaixaBank’s internal data reveals the great differences that exist within the sector, with one part that has greatly improved its situation compared with 2019 and another, non-too negligible part that is still encountering difficulties.

The labour market: structural changes and economic crisis
The ECB lowered interest rates by 25bp and left the deposit rate at 3%. The central bank also removed a reference in its guidance to keeping interest rates sufficiently restrictive, a sign that further policy easing is probably coming. Following the meeting, the probability of a 50bp rate cut in January, instead of 25bp, has risen from 30% to above 60%.
