Housing shortage holds back Balearic small firms
Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
A housing shortage is holding back growth for many small and medium-sized businesses across the Balearic Islands, says employers’ leader Carmen Planas. On Wednesday, 4 November 2026, the president of the Confederación de Asociaciones Empresariales de Baleares (CAEB) says high inflation and staff absences have also marked the season that has just ended.
Planas was responding to unemployment and employment-registration figures released that day. She says the labour market is slowing after the season, while taking in people whose status was regularised in recent months.
