España y la OCDE

Los economistas nunca satisfechos. Siempre pidiendo más reformas y medidas, pese a valorar como positivas las ya tomadas.

“The courageous reforms enacted over the past two years are paying off,” Mr Gurría said. “The economy is growing again, employment is rising, the banking sector has stabilised and financial markets’ trust in Spain has increased. It is now crucial to build on these accomplishments, with new efforts to enhance growth, boost productivity, further improve competitiveness and get people back to work. We also need to ensure that the recovery is inclusive and the benefits are shared: many people are still facing hardship, and none should be left behind as the situation improves.”

Mejorar productividad y competitividad…¿cómo se hace esto sin ajuste de empleos y salarios? La clave es doble: seguir eliminando rigideces en la producción y mejorar las condiciones (financieras, legales y mayor confianza) para la inversión. Pero no la inversión financiera, como la productiva. Aunque en este punto nos enfrentamos a un doble reto desde el elevado output-gap y la elevada deuda acumulada en el pasado.

Improving vocational training and boosting educational outcomes will be essential to prepare Spanish workers for the jobs of the future. In this regard, the OECD is working with the Government on a skills strategy to improve the pertinence of skills and the use of talent. The creation of high-quality, well-paid and sustainable employment also requires boosting growth, which calls for a shift to a new economic model based on creating and exploiting knowledge, the OECD said

Al final, conjuntamente con la lucha frente al desempleo a corto plazo crear las condiciones para mejorar el desempleo a medio y largo plazo. En definitiva, reformas y medidas para aumentar el crecimiento potencial. Esta es la clave.
