• The IMF confirmed the health of the Spanish economy, contrasting with the stagnation of the euro zone.
• The increase in the growth forecast to 1.9% for 2024 demonstrates the strength of the Spanish economy.
• The main drivers of the economy are the strengthening of purchasing power, the vigorous labor market, and the solidity of exports and tourism.
• Significant challenges are highlighted such as the need for public accounts sanitization and the maintenance of the pace in the European funds agenda.
• Internal political fragmentation could hinder the implementation of structural reforms and fiscal consolidation.
• The lack of political agreements, the electoral cycle and the competition among government partners threaten the success of the necessary reforms for the country's economic health.

Conclusion: The IMF advises on the danger that Spain's solid growth would run if the Government fails to fulfill its commitments with Brussels, which requires a parliamentary majority.
