Spain's economy grew by 3.8 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023, following an upwardly revised 2.9 percent expansion in the previous period and easily beating market expectations of 3.0 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. Net external demand added 2.5 percentage points to the GDP growth as exports jumped 10.2 percent and imports rose at a softer 4.0 percent. On the other hand, growth rates slowed for household consumption (1.5 percent vs 2.9 percent in Q4), fixed investment (0.8 percent vs 2.4 percent) and public spending (1.3 percent vs 2.5 percent) as stubbornly high inflation and higher interest rates hurt demand and activity. source: National Statistics Institute (INE)
