Newsletter 192 BNFIX PICH
June 2024
Dear all,
With summer just started and the fans ready, we are sending out another month of our newsletter, the 192nd, for June, which we start with some videos and reminder documents on obligations related to corporate tax and the filing of annual accounts. We then share some interesting videos on the present and future of cryptocurrency transactions and taxation, on the one hand, and on the opportunities that the innovation offers to the companies, on the other.
In the last part of the newsletter we invite you to read some publications and learn about our latest collaborations and activities.

/ Financial Observatory / The Spanish economy will grow by 2% in 2024
The latest report by the Financial Observatory of the General Council of Economists, relating to the first four months of the year, raises its growth forecast for the Spanish economy for 2024 by three tenths of a percentage point to 2.2 per cent. For 2025 it estimates an increase of 2 per cent. These forecasts are based on the strong growth of 0.7 percent in the first quarter of the year, as well as on the good expectations for the second quarter due to the boost from tourism and the services sector. The data on the renewed dynamism and recovery in Europe lead us to expect an improvement in exports since, in our case, more than 65 per cent of exports go to the euro zone.
