In 2026, the EU economy sees stable inflation and interest rates, with growth dependent on investment rather than monetary policy. The ECB has halted rate cuts, maintaining a neutral stance. Growth is modest, driven by investment, particularly in AI and infrastructure. Fiscal policy varies across countries, with Germany's infrastructure spending and Southern Europe's reforms impacting growth. The EU's recovery funds are supportive, but their peak impact is nearing, raising questions about future growth drivers.

EU economy after rate cuts: what investors need to know in 2026

The Bank of Spain has upgraded its economic growth forecast, expecting a 2.9% growth in 2025, positioning Spain as a leading economy in the euro zone. Despite this, many Spaniards feel financially strained due to rising living costs and stagnant wages. While inflation is expected to ease, real wages remain below pre-pandemic levels, affecting purchasing power. The disparity between macroeconomic strength and individual financial well-being persists, with many households struggling to cope with high food and housing prices.
