On Monday, at its cabinet meeting, the government approved a new package of measures to mitigate the economic impact of the international crisis, while formally launching work on the General State Budget for 2027 by updating the macroeconomic framework. The meeting also served to reinforce the government's strategy on housing, one of the political priorities of the current parliamentary term.
The new decree replaces the previous package of measures, which was due to expire on 30 June. As the prime minister had already indicated, the aim is to maintain protection for households, workers and economic sectors that are particularly exposed to the volatility of energy markets resulting from the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
The Minister for Economy, Trade and Enterprise, Carlos Cuerpo, defended the extension, stating that "we cannot let our guard down", as the economy is still operating in a context of "high geopolitical uncertainty". The minister argued that the government will continue to support the most exposed sectors for as long as the risks stemming from the international situation persist.
