“The economic and institutional
environment is key for the economic
growth and employment of CEPYME500
companies”
CEPYME500 companies show day after day that they
are not only able of enduring all kinds of difficulties,
but can also adequately meet the different goods
and services demands, generate added value, invest,
innovate, internationalise and adequately compensate
their employees, owners and shareholders.
From their experience, we can conclude that, in order
to reach any market in a digital and globalised world,
it is not as important to have a greater or lesser volume
of assets and financial and economic resources
as it is to know how to “economise them”, “valorise
them” or “manage them” better than your business
rivals and, essentially, use them with the aim of ensuring
a customer-oriented need-satisfying production.
Apart from the experiences that these companies will
share with us, we must underline that, although these
companies face different growth problems, every
one of them suffers from common traits. In fact, the
continuation of the current economic and employment
growth stage depends, to a large extent, on the
economic and institutional environmental conditions
in which they operate.
At the same time, this environment is influenced by
the decisions taken at an international level, particularly,
in the EU.
In the same vein, we believe that the firmness of the
structural reforms must continue, by strengthening
those that have been more successful and by initiating
new pending policies that are able to reinforce the
growth drivers for productivity, companies and employment.
Hence, we will endow growth with a better quality. In
fact, for two years now, growth has been making it possible
for us to leave the recession behind while improving
the competitiveness of our economy.
We strongly believe that the Spanish economy can and
must target a new growing phase as soon as possible.
Economy sources must strengthen competitiveness
while companies and employees thrive as being part
of a stable environment in which productive activity
develops.
