The latest official data reveals a 3.1% expansion in Spanish GDP in 2017, with a 0.7% increase in the fourth quarter. While slightly lower than the growth reported in previous quarters, last year was the third consecutive year that GDP grew by more than 3%.<\/p>\n
The figures confirm an increase in consumer spending and the far higher rate of investment that is being felt in many regions like the Costa del Sol. The report found that household demand was up 2.4% in the year and investment was up 5%, (including 6.1% for investment in equipment and 4.6% in construction). Exports also grew by 5% and imports grew at almost the same pace, up 4.7%.<\/p>\n
