Resumen
En este trabajo se trata de recapitular algunos rasgos de la situación de la economía española tras cinco años de crisis, ejercicio que se beneficia de poder analizar este período con cierta perspectiva. La crisis ha supuesto un sustancial reajuste de las grandes cifras macroeconómicas españolas, tanto en términos del nivel y la composición del PIB y del empleo como en términos de la posición financiera de los sectores institucionales. Durante este período se han corregido algunos de los desequilibrios que se acumularon durante la etapa expansiva, y diversas variables clave se sitúan en la actualidad en unas cotas similares a las europeas. Con todo, el legado de la crisis en términos de la magnitud del desempleo o de los todavía elevados niveles de endeudamiento configura un panorama complejo y apunta a una recuperación gradual de la actividad, que no está exenta de incertidumbres. Estas afectan, principalmente, al recorrido pendiente de los mecanismos de ajuste de la economía, en particular el que transcurre a través del canal de la competitividad y el que lo hace mediante el ajuste de la situación patrimonial del sector privado. A pesar de la profundidad de la crisis, el recuento de los avances de las reformas adoptadas en diversos frentes ofrece un balance significativo. Desde la perspectiva que suministra el análisis realizado en este trabajo, las políticas de oferta deben desempeñar un papel fundamental en la fase cíclica actual, con el fin de consolidar la recuperación
This paper briefly describes some features of the situation of the Spanish economy after five years of crisis, a task which is easier now that this period can be analysed from a certain perspective. The crisis prompted a substantial readjustment of the main Spanish macroeconomic aggregates, affecting the level and composition of GDP, employment and the balance sheet position of the institutional sectors. During this period some of the imbalances that built up during the upturn have been corrected and several key variables are currently at around the average European levels. All told, the legacy of the crisis, in terms of the magnitude of unemployment and of the still high levels of indebtedness, makes for a complex outlook and suggests that the recovery will be gradual and not free of uncertainty. This uncertainty mainly affects the functioning of the economy’s adjustment mechanisms, particularly those working through the channels of competitiveness and of private sector balance sheets. Despite the depth of the crisis in Spain, the progress made in the reforms on various fronts is, on balance, significant. From the perspective provided by the analysis of the crisis in this paper, supply-side policies will have to play a major role in the current phase of the cycle to enable the recovery to proceed firmly
