La economía española continúa avanzando a un ritmo dinámico, encadenando un crecimiento relativamente elevado, tanto en perspectiva histórica como en comparación con la mayoría de las economías desarrolladas. En el plano internacional, la economía se muestra resiliente mientras se terminan de manifestar los efectos de dos grandes fuerzas contrapuestas: la geopolítica y la inteligencia artificial. El optimismo por la IA en la bolsa estadounidense y su comparación con la burbuja puntocom es uno de los temas que se analiza este mes, así como las razones por las que la vivienda es una de las principales preocupaciones de la ciudadanía europea. En España, también se abordan las necesidades de financiación del Tesoro o la relación entre el tamaño empresarial y la permanencia laboral con los ingresos salariales a partir de datos internos anonimizados.

El dólar cambia de ritmo: tras depreciarse un 13% frente al euro en el primer semestre, frenó su caída en verano y ha recuperado algo de terreno desde septiembre. En próximos trimestres, las previsiones de crecimiento e inflación apuntan a un dólar algo más débil, aunque persisten factores que podrían sostenerlo: la resiliencia económica de EE. UU., unos tipos reales más altos en EE. UU. (tras moderarse las expectativas de inflación) y una importante recuperación de su papel como activo refugio.
