Spain’s commercial relationship with Venezuela may face significant changes with a possible breakup looming. In 2023, Spain exported goods to Venezuela worth €145 million, placing Venezuela 94th in its trading destinations list. However, Spain has a higher foreign sales volume than France or Italy and is narrowing the gap with Germany. In other news, the prices in the service sector have risen by 2.3% in the second quarter compared to the same period last year. This growth rate is slightly lower than the one registered in the first quarter. Lastly, Spanish companies are anticipating a business turnover recovery in the fourth quarter of the year, despite predicting a minor downturn.
