Spain’s economy is anticipated to moderate its growth to 2.4% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026, according to the United Nations projections, reflecting levels similar to pre-pandemic years. This growth is primarily attributed to the resilience of the tourism and services sectors. However, a recent survey by the General Council of Economists highlights concerns, with 51.2% of economists predicting a potential downturn in the national economy over the next six months. The survey also indicates that many perceive high fiscal pressure and labor costs as hindering competitiveness. Additionally, recent reforms and taxes in strategic sectors such as banking and energy are seen as competitiveness obstacles by 66.7% of economists. Despite these challenges, a rating agency forecasts Spain to lead GDP growth in the Eurozone from 2025 to 2027, suggesting a mixed but cautiously optimistic outlook for the country’s economy, underscored by significant dependency on structural reforms and fiscal policies.
