He trusts that the future price reduction derived from the ‘Iberian exception’ “incentivizes” the social agents to negotiate an income pact
MADRID, 10 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The First Vice President of the Government and Minister of Economic Affairs and for Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño, assured this Friday that the measures that the Executive has adopted to cushion the rise in prices, such as the drop in gasoline and electricity, have helped reduce the CPI between two and three points, and has not ruled out adopting “additional” measures to continue cutting inflation.
“We are going to extend the measures as long as necessary and, on the other hand, we are going to see if it is necessary to take complementary measures or adjust them, so that they are as effective as possible and that we can continue to cushion the impact and start a slowdown path as soon as possible. of inflation”, Calviño stressed in statements to Galician Television collected by Europa Press.
Calviño has stated that the measures put in place by the Government to cushion the impact of inflation “work”, since in harmonized terms, Spain has a lower price rise than countries such as Germany, Holland and Belgium. “There are more than ten European countries that are above Spain in terms of inflation,” he stressed.
The vice president has assured that “at the moment” there is no inflationary spiral in Spain and that family incomes must be “strong” to face “any challenge”, while expressing her confidence that the ‘Iberian exception’ will help reduce the CPI.
In fact, he hopes that the moderation in the price of electricity in the wholesale market thanks to the forthcoming application of the ‘Iberian exception’ will also serve as “another incentive” for unions and businessmen to sit down to negotiate an income pact.
“I am confident that we can reactivate this possible income agreement,” said the vice president, who also wanted to send “a message of calm” to pensioners, assuring that their pensions will be revalued according to the CPI.
