CaixaBank prevé que el PIB español crezca un 2% en 2027, por encima de la zona euro
El menor impacto del choque energético y la inversión en IA impulsan el optimismo económico pese a los riesgos geopolíticos
CaixaBank, Spain's prominent bank, has released its economic forecasts for 2027, projecting that the Spanish economy will expand by 2% year-on-year. This growth figure is higher than the projected 1.4% increase for the Eurozone during the same period. Enric Fernández, CaixaBank's chief economist, warned that predicting economic trends is inherently risky due to geopolitical tensions and unpredictable conflicts. Despite this, the bank remains optimistic about certain factors and dynamics.
Global economic growth is expected to rise to 3.3% in 2027, up from 3% in the current year. This upward trajectory is driven by the alleviation of the energy shock, which is anticipated to have a lesser impact compared to the current inflationary pressures, as well as the growing investor interest in artificial intelligence (AI).
Spain's economy stands to benefit from these global trends, demonstrating greater resilience than the broader European environment. The bank estimates that Spain's economy will grow by 2% in 2027, which is six-tenths of a percentage point below the forecast for 2026 but still significantly above the projected growth of the Eurozone.
