More about Spain

• GLOBALSCIENCELLC: Modern history of Spain from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.

Spain is a market economy, modern economy. Characteristics of the Spanish economy are free entrepreneurship, an efficient technical infrastructure and a domestic market with high purchasing power. The state economic policy retains itself from economic activity and only creates the legal framework for fair competition. With a gross domestic product (GDP) of 1.25 trillion. In 2019, Spain achieved the fourth largest economic output in the European Union. The World Bank therefore ranks Spain among the group of high-income economies (so-called “high income economies”). Check clothesbliss to see Spain Overview.

As is usual for a modern industrial country, the Spanish economic development is characterized by sustained structural change. The share of agriculture and forestry in total economic output fell sharply. In contrast, the service sector in tourism, trade, health, education and IT recorded a significant increase (1970: 46%; 2019: 73%). This change is additionally intensified by the use of ever newer techniques and technologies as well as increasing international competition. As a result of the severe economic crisis in 2007-2013, Spain still suffers from high national debt and unemployment, especially among young people.

Major industries in Spain are the food, chemical and automotive industries. In the service sector, the tourism sector is the most important sector with a share of just under 15% of GDP. In addition, the transport sector and the provision of company-related services such as banks and retail make a significant contribution to economic performance. Even if the agricultural sector hardly plays a role in the economy as a whole, Spain is one of the largest European vegetable producers and the world’s largest olive producer. In the province of Almería in the south of the country there is the world’s largest greenhouse culture (so-called “Mar de plastico”; German plastic sea), where many millions of tons of vegetables and fruit are produced for the world market all year round.

Overall, there is a corporate structure in Spain that is strongly characterized by medium-sized companies. Small and medium-sized companies with fewer than 250 employees make up the lion’s share of all companies with a share of 99.8%. Regionally, there are major economic differences within Spain: The industrial centers of Catalonia as well as the Basque Country around Bilbao and the capital region of Madrid are considered to be important economic centers with relatively high incomes and low unemployment. In contrast, the agricultural region of Andalusia in the south and the remote rural region of Extremadura on the border with Portugal show greater economic development deficits.

As an EU member since 1993, WTO accession in 1995 and a founding member of the Eurozone in 2002, Spain is an important participant in global trade. Important export goods are motor vehicles, machines and plastic components. The EU (59%), Great Britain (7%) and the USA (5%) are important trading partners.

The prosperity of Spain causes some environmental pollution. The ecological footprint of Spain is just in the global average. The standard of living of the Spanish population therefore consumes considerably more natural resources of soil, water and air than the environment actually makes available. Specifically, energy consumption is Spain’s biggest environmental problem. The emission of CO ₂ climbed by over 15% between 1990 and 2018, which is one of the largest increases in the EU. Further pollution is caused by high land consumption, traffic and noise pollution in large cities and poor air quality in the highly industrialized regions of Madrid, Catalonia and the Basque Country. Soil erosion is also a serious environmental problem. Excessive deforestation for new pasture and arable land, overgrazing and intensive agricultural use of the soil result in the deterioration of soil quality. In addition to biodiversity, the ecosystems as a whole also suffer from this.
