Spain leads Europe in purchasing white-label products, topping countries such as the Netherlands, UK, Portugal, and Germany, denoting a strong consumer market in the country. However, a report by Goldman Sachs predicts a potential 0.6% impact on Spain’s GDP if a 10% charge is imposed on Spanish goods. On the corporate side, Telefónica, one of Spain’s leading telecommunications companies, reported a net earnings of €989 million in the first nine months of the year. This figure, albeit substantial, marks a 21.7% drop from the €1.262 billion earnings in the same period of 2023. Despite these challenges, the Spanish market evidently shows resilience, leveraging multinational cooperation in the face of potential trade difficulties with the USA and other global disruptions.
