Spain’s economic growth accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2025, with GDP increasing by 0.8% quarter-over-quarter, up from 0.6% in the previous three-month period. The data, updated on 26 March 2026, indicate a firming of momentum at the end of the year.
The “actual” figure of 0.8% reflects the change in GDP from the third to the fourth quarter of 2025, while the “previous” 0.6% reading corresponded to growth in the third quarter versus the second quarter of 2025. This step-up in quarter-on-quarter expansion suggests that Spain entered 2026 with a strengthening economic baseline, as activity in late 2025 outpaced the growth rate seen earlier in the year.
