In the second quarter of 2025, Andalusia's economy registered a robust year-on-year growth of 3%, surpassing Spain's national average growth by two tenths. The growth figures, reported by the Instituto de Estadística y Cartografía de Andalucía (IECA), indicate that the regional economy continues to expand at a significant pace compared to broader European benchmarks.
The industrial sector was a key driver of this growth, achieving an impressive 8.5% increase, which more than doubled the growth rate observed in the previous quarter. This outperformance is contrasted against Spain's overall industrial growth of 2.2%. Additionally, the non-agricultural sectors in Andalusia collectively grew by 3.5%, again eclipsing the national non-agricultural growth of 3.1%.
In comparison with the European Union, where GDP growth was only 1.5%, and the Eurozone’s growth of 1.4%, Andalusia's economic performance appears exceptionally strong. The services sector also contributed positively with a growth rate of 2.9%, while the construction sector grew by 2.4%. However, it is noteworthy that the agricultural sector in the region experienced a decline of 2.4%.
Regional economy minister Carolina España attributed the optimistic growth outlook to effective economic policies implemented in the region, which focus on investment enhancement, tax reductions, and maintaining economic stability. As Andalucía's growth differential compared to Spain widens, the long-term economic strategy appears to be yielding positive results.
