Nevertheless, the first vice-president and Minister of Economy, Antoni Costa, has warned that it represents a "big stone in the road" after a 2025 in which figures indicated economic growth. The abrupt change in the international context has sown uncertainty in the Executive's forecasts, which has approved a <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/misc/from-mortgages-to-the-primary-sector-this-is-how-the-government-s-160-million-for-the-price-crisis-will-be-distributed_1_5696141.html" target="_blank">first package of measures</a> to address its first effects: the increase in prices of gasoline, transport, construction, and the rise in the Euribor. "Uncertainty and volatility are the two words that define the current situation," said Costa, who admitted that he still does not have the answer to the most important question: how will this situation affect the tourism sector?</p>]]></description>

At a press conference, the association's president, Climent Olives, and managing director, Sandra Verger, cautioned that this situation could impact the public housing developments (VPO) planned under the Balearic Government's stimulus plan through the Balearic Housing Institute (Ibavi). "The longer this conflict drags on, the higher prices will rise, and it will be difficult for them to fall afterward," Verger stated, also highlighting the fragility of costs in an unstable geopolitical context. Olives added that, before the outbreak of the conflict, the sector was experiencing a boom that has completely changed in a matter of days.</p>]]></description>
