Spain is expected to return to pre-pandemic GDP levels by the end of 2022, with a strong rebound in new business and consumer spending. The implementation of Spain’s Recovery & Resilience Plan will play an important role: domestic demand should be sufficient enough on its own for economic expansion through 2021 while external demand recovers at more normal levels as well when international tourist visits have improved. A recent IMF report forecasts significant growth for Spain in 2022, but it will return to pre-pandemic levels later than France and Germany. The Spanish economy shrank much more last year, so they projected a slower economic expansion rate. In 2020, Spain ranked #30 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: OECD, European Commission, and El Pais).
