Most economists consider it "likely" that the Spanish economy will suffer stagflation in 2026

A majority of economists surveyed by Spain's Council of Economic Experts (CGE) believe there is a high probability of stagflation affecting Spain in 2026. Stagflation refers to a situation where an economy experiences low growth combined with high inflation. According to the survey, 63.9% of the 594 economists polled expect this scenario to occur, citing factors such as inflation, energy prices, and geopolitical uncertainty—particularly linked to the war in Iran—as contributing causes. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of the analysts predict a deterioration in Spain's economic conditions in 2026 due to these accumulated uncertainties.
