The 2030 World Cup and its legacy
The FIFA decision of 11 December 2024 awards the main co-hosting of 2030 to Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Three centenary matches are planned in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The award is a confirmed decision; the event remains in the future. These two statuses can coexist. International visibility provides an angle for presenting the country, but does not prove the timeline of each facility nor the revenues of an address during the competition.
The method in practice
Build your argument around the legacy of usage: mobility, services and needs that could remain useful after the event. Create a fact sheet per announced infrastructure project with responsible party, source, timeline and known status. Study the property over a horizon beyond a few weeks of competition. For a rental, distinguish between exceptional demand and recurring demand, then examine management and costs. Dates, locations and operating conditions must be verified when they become necessary to the file. Do not promise occupancy rates or capital gains linked to the award. A robust recommendation also explains why the address would meet the client's project outside of the event.
Fictional example
A buyer wants to finance their purchase solely with revenues from the World Cup. The adviser first establishes a standard annual scenario and treats the exceptional period as a separate hypothesis.
Promoting the confirmed co-hosting without guaranteeing its real estate effects.
Vision 2035: understanding the New Model
The New Development Model is the report of the CSMD presented in 2021. It proposes a trajectory towards 2035 centred on economic transformation, human capital, inclusion and sustainable territories. Its ambition of 16,000 dollars of GDP per capita is expressed in purchasing power parity. GDP per capita is an average indicator of production relative to population; it is not the income paid to each person. PPP is used for economic comparison, not for a banking transaction.
The method in practice
Present the nature of the document before the target. A strategic ambition can illuminate the priorities to observe: activities, training, services and quality of territories. It does not demonstrate that all results will be achieved nor that an investment will yield a specific return. If a client asks "how much will I earn in 2035?", return to their project and their own scenario rather than applying the target to their estate. Also distinguish between horizons: 2030 relates notably to the sporting event and certain programs, 2035 to the model's trajectory. Do not merge these dates into a general deadline where all achievements would be automatically acquired.
Fictional example
The phrase "everyone will earn 16,000 dollars" is replaced by "the report sets an ambition for GDP per capita in PPP by 2035".
Explaining a strategic ambition, its unit and what it does not promise.
Energy, installed capacity and completion scenarios
46.1% · End 2025. Share of renewables in installed electrical capacity. Installed capacity is power; actual generation is an amount of energy over a period. Resource availability, operating conditions and grid operation can explain a difference between their respective shares. The national target exceeds 52% renewable capacity by 2030. The ONEE plan announced in July 2026 aims to cross this threshold as early as 2028. This is an announced trajectory, distinct from the level observed at the end of 2025.
The method in practice
Apply this distinction to other programs. A budget allocation, a construction site, a delivery and an operating service are four different states. For the property studied, examine consumption, equipment, solar shading, ventilation, maintenance and water management. The national electricity mix does not demonstrate a specific utility bill nor the energy performance of the house. Build a baseline scenario with the existing situation, then a completion scenario and a delay scenario for relevant projects. State which parameters change in each. You can discuss the potential without presenting a timeline or savings as guaranteed.
Fictional example
A villa is presented as low-cost in energy on the grounds that the country is developing renewables. The adviser asks for the property's equipment, usages and consumption before concluding.

Your practical application work
FICTITIOUS CASE · A client wants to buy "before 2030" and quotes the 2035 vision, rail and renewables as proof of yield.
- Classify five statements between observation, decision, project and objective.
- Explain GDP per capita PPP and electrical capacity in simple language.
- Build a current scenario and a delay scenario for their use.
