On the 25th and 26th of June, the Spain Real Estate Summit comes to Madrid, taking place at La Finca the UZalacaín space, to debate the attractiveness of Spain as an investment destination, and where the main opportunities may be for the future.
The macroeconomic analysis for 2024 focuses especially on the performance of the Eurozone, with concerns about weak growth, mainly attributed to Germany and its industrial model.
Nonetheless, there is an upward trend, especially driven by the labour market which has maintained stable conditions. In addition, the first signs of decline in inflation may lead to an easing of monetary policy with interest rate cuts.
The geopolitical context, including armed conflicts and elections, continues to be relevant for the European economy. Although these factors have affected energy supply and prices, they have not significantly dampened economic activity. The European elections in June could result in a more fragmented Parliament, which could influence policies such as the energy transition.
Juan María Nin, with a background of being Former Vice-Chairman and CEO of La Caixa, CEO of Banco Sabadell and Managing Director of Banco Santander, will be responsible to explain how all these conditionings may affect the Spanish growth, and he will unveil the main lessons we should keep for the future and where the main opportunities and risks are, confirming for the effect his participation on the opening session entitled “Economic expedition: Balancing optimism and pragmatism”.
Juan María Nin current role, places him as a leading industry expert in what regards to how the Spanish economy is positioned within Europe. He has first-hand knowledge of the world of business management, finance, energy and international economic policy, and he is currently the Chairman of the ‘Círculo de Empresarios’ - a non-profit organisation that aims to promote the work of entrepreneurs and business in society.
This important session will be presented by the Conference Chairman, Roger M. Cooke, and Courtney Fingar, a leading global expert on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). In a 20-year career she has covered business stories in all major regions of the world and has been on assignment to more than 80 countries, interviewing heads of state and government ministers as well as business leaders.

The macroeconomic situation, the reconversion of assets, new financing models, the production of a greater volume of affordable housing or the effect that new technologies and the deployment of AI have on the real estate sector will be some of the issues to be debated.
