CaixaBank forecasts 2% growth for Spain in 2027
CaixaBank Research forecasts 2% growth for Spain in 2027, as the country’s economy continues to expand.
That would be slower than the 2.6% forecast for Spain in 2026, but faster than the eurozone’s projected 1.4%.
The forecasts come amid geopolitical tensions and recent energy price shocks, which have weighed on the global economy.
A softer energy shock and investment in artificial intelligence are expected to support growth around the world.
CaixaBank Research expects global growth of 3.3% in 2027, while the eurozone is forecast to pick up from 1% in 2026.
Renewed conflict in the Middle East and weaker technology investment are key risks, alongside higher interest rates and fiscal strains in some countries.
The forecast also puts Spanish inflation at 2.5% in 2027, down from 3.4% this year, but the growth outlook remains uncertain.

What people are saying
They are more about understanding than getting it right
Despite everything that has happened just this year, with the impact of tariffs and the energy shock from the conflict in Iran, we have good prospects for the global economy
Our central scenario is that these tensions will not worsen and that the risk premium will remain under control
