In September, eurozone inflation exceeded analysts’ projections, closing the month with a 2.2 % increase. This trend was driven by rising prices for goods and services, particularly energy costs.

According to the European Central Bank (ECB) forecasts, “Eurozone inflation is expected to average 2.1 % in 2025, 1.7 % in 2026, and 1.9 % in 2027.  As for the underlying inflation rate, the projection is 2.4 %, 1.9 %, and 1.8 % in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.”

The eurozone manufacturing sector is entering a contraction, with no signs of stabilization in sight for the region’s countries, due to a decline in new orders.

In addition to these factors, there are the consequences of tariffs imposed by the US government, internal problems in each country, armed conflicts, and fluctuations in global energy demand.

Bulgaria will become a member of the European Union on January 1, 2026, following a rigorous process that culminated in the approval of the Eurozone’s Economy and Finance Ministers.

With this decision, the country becomes the 21st member of the Eurozone, according to Danish Economy Minister Stephanie Lose, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency.

The announcement of this decision was made last June, indicating that Bulgaria “had met the strict conditions for adopting the euro, and the European Central Bank (ECB) also gave a positive opinion.”

The country has gone through a path fraught with opposition to its eurozone entry, as well as seven electoral processes in three years, the last in October 2024.

With its entry into the EU, Bulgaria will adopt the euro as its currency after “demonstrating that its economy has converged with that of other eurozone countries and that its finances are under control.” Other conditions it must meet include keeping inflation no more than 1.5 percentage points above the rate of the three best-performing EU countries, and its monetary policy must be transferred to the ECB.

The International Monetary Fund’s economic growth forecasts for Spain are expected to be higher than those for the Eurozone until 2030, thanks to positive deficit and debt forecasts.

In its World Economic Outlook report, the IMF predicts that Spain’s GDP growth will triple that of the Eurozone this year, “with an expansion of 2.5 % in 2025, compared to 0.8 % anticipated for the 2020s, and will see this gap narrow over the following years.”

On the other hand, the organization forecasts that by the end of the decade, Spain’s annual growth will be 1.6 %, while for the eurozone, the expansion would be 1.3 % in 2028, 1.2 % in 2029, and 1.1 % in 2030.

Regarding inflation, prices are expected to rise by 2.2 % in 2025 and 1.9 % in 2026, while they would rise by 2.1 % in 2027.

Regarding the unemployment rate in Spain, the IMF forecasts a decrease to 11.1 % in 2025 and 11 % in 2026. In this context, the number of employed persons is expected to continue to rise to 21.9 million in 2025 and exceed 22 million next year.

Issues such as debt and deficit are also addressed in the IMF report. In this regard, forecasts call for a decline to 2.7 % of GDP this year, “and a further decline in 2026, reaching 2.4 %.” In the case of public debt, this indicator will fall to 100.6 % in 2025 and “will continue to decline relative to GDP over the remainder of the IMF’s projection horizon, reaching 99 % of GDP in 2026.”
