flag Spain launches €120B 'España Crece' fund to build 15,000 affordable homes yearly amid severe housing shortage.

flag Spain has launched the 'España Crece' sovereign wealth fund, pledging up to 120 billion euros in public and private investment to address a severe housing shortage, with a goal of building 15,000 affordable homes annually. flag The initiative, announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, includes 10.5 billion euros in EU funding and aims to boost housing supply, energy, digitalization, and security sectors. flag The plan targets a housing deficit of 700,000 units between 2021 and 2025, driven by rising demand, lagging construction, and tourism-driven rental inflation. flag Rental prices have doubled over the past decade, and foreign buyers accounted for nearly half of apartment purchases in Barcelona’s Barceloneta in 2025.
