AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoRed Tape Crunch: A new ATA study says Spain’s self-employed workers (3.4m autonomos) spend 226 hours a year on bureaucracy—about €3,390 in annual cost—worsened by uncertainty around Verifactu, working-time registration and new EU AI rules. Customer Service Pressure: Spain’s customer care is under strain as a new Customer Service Law (Ley 10/2025) pushes firms to answer 95% of calls within three minutes and resolve complaints in 15 business days; AI startup Kognia is pitching cognitive tech to help banks, healthcare and hospitality meet the targets. Parental Leave Debate: A survey of 1,900 Spanish companies finds 66% expect extended paid parental leave (now 19 weeks) to have little or no productivity impact, though workforce gender imbalances vary sharply by sector. Retail Hours Chaos: A report highlights 389 different commercial-hours rules across Spain, forcing large stores (over 300 sqm) to close up to 56 Sundays/holidays a year—an extra headache for SMEs facing competition from Shein/Temu. Entrepreneurship Banking: CaixaBank’s DayOne says it has surpassed 5,500 clients and grew new investment production by 11.9% in H1 2026, backing startups via initiatives like the EmprendeXXI Awards. Local Enforcement: Nerja police seized 1,000+ counterfeit items in street-selling crackdowns, targeting unlicensed hawkers and protecting legal shops.
