Spain to hold elections on November 29
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced the dissolution of the Cortes and called for general elections to be held on November 29.

The elections are seen as a response to political challenges and are expected to focus heavily on housing issues, according to 20minutos.es and Invertia.com.
Impact Political uncertainty may affect public-sector projects and policy continuity until the election outcome is clear.
