Spain Economy Rebounds More than Expected
Spain's gross domestic product expanded 2.8 percent on quarter in the three months to June of 2021, rebounding from a 0.4 percent contraction in the previous period and beating market expectations of a 2.2 percent advance, a preliminary estimate showed. As Covid-19 cases went down, the country loosened most of the restrictions on businesses and both household consumption (6.6 percent vs -0.4 percent in Q1) and government expenditure (0.8 percent vs -0.1 percent) rebounded. Meantime, gross fixed capital formations continued to decline (-1.5 percent vs -0.8 percent) and net foreign demand contributed negatively to growth, as exports went up 0.4 percent (vs -1.7 percent in Q1) while imports rose at a faster 2.9 percent (vs -1.3 percent). Year-on-year, the economy advanced a record 19.8 percent, after a 4.2 percent drop and also above market forecasts of a 19 percent rebound.
