FX.co ★ Spanish GDP Growth Accelerates to 0.7% in Q2 2026

Spain’s economy gained momentum in the second quarter of 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 0.7% quarter-on-quarter, up from 0.6% in the first quarter of the year. The latest figures, updated on 30 July 2026, point to a modest but clear acceleration in economic activity.

The current 0.7% reading reflects growth in Q2 2026 compared with Q1 2026, while the previous 0.6% rate measured the change in the first quarter against the final quarter of the prior period. This sequential improvement suggests that Spain’s recovery path remains intact, with quarterly performance strengthening as the year progresses. Investors and policymakers will now be watching upcoming releases closely to see if this upward trend in quarter-on-quarter growth can be sustained into the second half of 2026.
