Spain's central bank, Banco de España, has raised its growth forecast for this year by 0.3 percentage points to 2.6%, citing increased exports and domestic demand as driving forces. However, the bank predicts inflation will reach 3.9% by year-end, up from its previous estimate of 3.6%. The bank also anticipates a slowdown in employment growth, projecting a 2% increase in 2026, with an unemployment rate of 10%.
The bank's optimism about Spain's economy is based on strong private consumption, job creation, and population growth. The private consumption forecast has increased by 4 percentage points since June, reaching 3%, while public consumption is expected to rise by 4 percentage points to 2.1% by year-end. Despite the complex international context and rising energy costs, Spain's economy maintains significant dynamism in 2026, supported by robust private consumption, job creation, and population growth.
