The Palamós Chamber of Commerce has warned about the potential negative repercussions that the international conflict context may have on the Baix Empordà business sector in the coming weeks.

The current global uncertainty directly threatens local companies dependent on imports. Trade route alterations could lead to significant delivery delays and supply difficulties for products coming from conflict zones.

"The increase in fuel prices can make transport and logistics more expensive, which affects production costs."

Pol Fages · President of the Palamós Chamber of Commerce
Rising costs may eventually be passed on to consumers, potentially slowing local spending. Conversely, the tourism sector in Baix Empordà might benefit as it is perceived as a safe destination for nearby travelers.
