Spain's Q1 growth of 0.6% among the highest in the OECD

Spain's economy demonstrated robust performance in the first quarter, registering a 0.6% growth rate that positions it favorably among OECD nations. While this figure represents a slight deceleration from the final quarter of 2025, it significantly outpaces the collective growth of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which stood at 0.4%.

This sustained expansion is particularly noteworthy when compared to other major economies. Among the 28 OECD member countries, Spain's quarterly growth was surpassed only by a handful, including South Korea, Finland, Switzerland, Hungary, and Slovenia. Furthermore, Spain's performance matched that of the United Kingdom and surpassed the growth rates of the European Union (0.2%) and the Eurozone (0.1%).

On an annual basis, Spain's economic activity climbed by 2.7% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2025. This year-on-year increase, a slight uptick from the previous year's 2.6%, was matched by the United States and trailed only by South Korea, Poland, and Slovenia among the 28 member states. The overall figures underscore Spain's resilience and its position as a leading economy within the OECD, demonstrating a positive trajectory despite global economic fluctuations.
