Speaking in Madrid, Garamendi argued that companies are not responsible for rising housing costs or inflation. The **Ministry of Labour** has also confirmed the renewal of the Economic and Social Council after a two-year delay. Under the new structure, CEOE and **Cepyme** will lose two seats to **Pimec** and Pimeb, while experts prepare a proposal for the Minimum Interprofessional Wage. Garamendi further claimed that the failure to deflate the IRPF rate has cost workers 17,000 million euros. These developments come as the government continues to adjust the SMI, following a previous increase in February to address ongoing economic pressures. ## Related news ![Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() [#Spain]() #Demographics #PopulationGrowth [#INE]() [#Migration]() 12 November 2026 at 12:57 ## [Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() > New INE data reveals Spain's population reached a historic peak on 1 October 2026, driven almost entirely by foreign-born residents. #Sabadell [#BankOfSpain]() #MortgageFraud #BankingRegulation [#Spain]() 11 November 2026 at 17:15 ## [Bank of Spain fines Sabadell €16.5m over mortgages]() > Banco Sabadell faces a €16.5 million penalty for illegally conditioning mortgage approvals on the purchase of linked insurance policies. #Aldi #ChristmasShopping [#Spain]() #Budgeting #RetailTrends 11 November 2026 at 16:55 ## [Aldi report: 71% of Spanish homes shop early]() > A study reveals most households buy Christmas food early to manage budgets, with many opting for store brands and items under five euros.
