Spain will experience accelerated economic growth until 2030
The IMF has improved its growth forecasts for Spain this year, which will be higher than the Eurozone's in the coming years
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.”
