The chief economist of CaixaBank, Enric Fernández, predicts that the Spanish GDP will grow by 2% in 2027, six tenths lower than the 2.6% estimated for this year. The forecast was presented in Barcelona, as reported by Europa Press based on a statement from the Spanish Institute of Analysts.
The event, titled 'Financial Market Perspectives for 2027', was organized by the Catalan delegation of the Spanish Institute of Analysts. During it, Fernández argued that the global economy will maintain remarkable resilience in 2027 and may even grow more than this year.
