Large Economy With A Well-Educated Workforce

As the fourth-largest economy in the eurozone, Spain’s strength is underpinned by a variety of sectors including manufacturing, financial services, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as clothing and apparel, and tourism. Spain’s excellent infrastructure, well-educated workforce, large domestic market and access to the European Common Market make it an attractive destination for foreign investment. Yet Spain grapples with challenges that include high fiscal deficits and public debt, restrictive labor regulations, and an aging population. The political landscape is also highly polarized, hindering the country’s economic growth potential.
