Las etiquetas Hecho en España, Hecho en EE. UU. e incluso Hecho en China cada vez tienen menos sentido en nuestro mundo actual. Desde que las empresas decidieron trocear sus procesos productivos y trasladarlos a otros países, seguramente Hecho en el Mundo represente mejor la naturaleza de la mayoría de los bienes manufacturados que consumimos. Repasamos el pasado, el presente y el futuro de las cadenas de valor globales, en un momento en el que las restricciones a la movilidad provocadas por la pandemia y las disrupciones en los suministros las han vuelto a poner de actualidad.

A pesar de la COVID-19, los precios de la vivienda en la mayor parte de las economías avanzadas experimentaron un repunte en 2020, en gran parte ligado a las políticas fiscales y monetarias expansivas introducidas para reactivar la actividad económica.
El mercado inmobiliario español se desaceleró en 2023, pero de forma más suave de lo anticipado. A pesar del fuerte aumento de los tipos de interés, varios factores han apoyado al sector, entre ellos un mercado laboral resiliente, unos flujos de inmigración significativos, el desajuste entre una oferta de vivienda nueva escasa y una demanda elevada, y una situación financiera de los hogares menos tensionada de lo esperado. Por el lado de la oferta, la estabilización de los costes de construcción ha permitido cerrar 2023 con un número de visados de vivienda nueva similar al de años anteriores. En el primer semestre de 2024, prevemos que esta senda de suave desaceleración tendrá continuidad debido a unos tipos de interés todavía elevados y un contexto económico relativamente débil; no obstante, en el segundo semestre, a medida que se afiance la senda descendente de los tipos de interés y la actividad económica gane tracción, esperamos que el mercado inmobiliario recobre mayor vigor.
