According to the Regional Accounts, the region’s GDP reached €336.489 billion, once again closing the year as the largest contributor to the national economy, accounting for 19.8% of Spain’s total GDP.
Ayuso revealed these figures at the 3rd Economic Forum of El Liberal, organized by the digital newspaper The Objective at the Ortega-Marañón Foundation in the capital. She explained that consumption increased by 3.1% during this period, with a 3.3% rise in household consumption, while investment grew by 6.3%, including 6% in housing and 6.3% in non-residential investment. In addition, the strong performance of domestic demand, which rose by 3.9%, has been the main driver of this growth.
The president defended the management model that has made Madrid the economic leader of Spain, based on freedom, institutional stability, legal certainty, and incentive-based taxation, with the lowest taxes and no regional taxes of its own. As a result, GDP per capita stands at €44,749, 37.1% higher than the Spanish average, while foreign investment has increased by 76.5% since 2019, reflecting international investors’ confidence in the Community of Madrid.
These figures have been supported by the 35 tax cuts approved by the government led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso since 2019, with three more still pending ratification. Among them is a new half-percentage-point reduction in personal income tax (IRPF). Other measures include the removal of bureaucratic obstacles through initiatives such as the Open Market Law, as well as a strong commitment to innovation. Madrid is currently the leading Spanish region in R&D and the second in the EU in high-tech employment, with more than 304,000 professionals working in this sector.
The region also led job creation in Spain in 2025, with more than 108,000 new jobs, surpassing Catalonia for the first time in the number of Social Security contributors, despite having one million fewer inhabitants, and reaching a record figure of 28,348 newly created companies.
