Spain's EU Recovery Plan: Investment and Productivity Fall Short of Targets

Spain's €160 billion Next Generation EU recovery plan fell short of investment and productivity goals; public consumption, not investment, drove growth, resulting in a 2.5% increase in gross fixed capital formation and marginal productivity gains, despite nearly 2 million new jobs.

How did the actual economic recovery in Spain differ from initial projections based on the NGEU funds, and what factors contributed to this divergence?

Despite €160 billion in NGEU funds, Spain's economic recovery has been driven primarily by public consumption (60.7% contribution since 2019), not the projected investment surge. The expected 2-3% GDP growth in 2024 failed to materialize; instead, GDP growth was 3.2%, with investment lagging at 2.3%, far below the expected 6.5%. This shortfall reflects the underperformance of the investment multiplier effect and slower-than-expected absorption of NGEU funds.

How does Greece's significant reliance on RRF funds compared to other EU countries influence the urgency of meeting the 2026 deadline?

Greece's challenge stems from needing to complete approximately two-thirds of its RRF milestones within 18 months to access the remaining funds. This urgency is amplified as the RRF funds constitute approximately 17% of Greece's GDP, and a last opportunity for revisions to the program exists until Easter. Other countries face similar pressures, but Greece's proportional reliance on these funds intensifies the situation.

How has the conflict impacted the energy and agricultural sectors in Ukraine, and what is the current state of its economic recovery?

Russia's economic resilience stems from continued illicit oil sales and access to raw materials, enabling military production and state expansion. Ukraine, while suffering significant losses (e.g., $2 billion from the Kakhovka dam destruction), shows remarkable resilience in its electricity market and agricultural sector, even exporting electricity to neighboring countries. Tax revenues in Ukraine also saw a significant increase in December 2024, up 50% year-on-year.
