Madrid’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has risen to €337.216 billion, following growth of 2.7% last year, one tenth of a percentage point above the Spanish average (2.6%), according to data published today by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
This milestone further strengthens Madrid Region’s role as a driving force of the Spanish economy, supported by policies focused on maintaining the lowest taxes in the country, attracting the highest levels of foreign investment and new companies, and providing legal certainty. It is also backed by support for businesses and self-employed workers, with minimal bureaucracy, helping Madrid remain a leader in job creation.
Since 2019, when the first regional government headed by Isabel Díaz Ayuso took office, Madrid’s economy has grown by 17.5%, more than five percentage points above the Spanish average and regions such as Catalonia. In addition, in 2025 Madrid further widened its lead over Catalonia, which it overtook in 2017 as the region accounting for the largest share of Spain’s GDP. The gap now stands at 1.1 percentage points compared with Catalonia’s 18.9% share, two tenths of a percentage point wider than a year ago.
Madrid Region also has the highest GDP per capita in Spain, at €47,220, 38% above the national average (€34,237) and 13% higher than the European Union average (€41,700). Since 2008, it has increased by 47%, more than €15,000 per inhabitant, compared with 41.5% growth across Spain, equivalent to around €10,000 per inhabitant.
