Economic and political developments in Cuenca have centered on employment growth and business stability. Mayor Darío Dolz reported the creation of approximately 700 new jobs, particularly within the IT, wood, and university hospital sectors. Amidst these economic gains, Dolz called for general elections, describing current political conditions as “totally unsustainable.”

Local business leaders, represented by the Confederation of Employers of Cuenca, have shifted focus toward prioritizing profitability to ensure long-term viability. While expansion is viewed as necessary, entrepreneurs emphasized that growth must be supported by sustainable management. Business leaders identified political uncertainty, legal insecurity, and frequent regulatory changes as primary obstacles, with 62% of those surveyed calling for a more stable and predictable legal framework to encourage investment.
