Investing in Spain

Spain is the Eurozone country that has most strongly recovered from the economic crisis, growing by 3.2% in 2015, compared with 1.8% for the Eurozone on average.

Spain is also Eurozone’s best country to invest, particularly in real estate, according to major international rankings such as AT Kearney, Cushman Wakefield, etc. In 2014, foreign direct investment into Spain reached € 23 billion, the second-largest volume in the entire Eurozone, only after Netherlands and ahead of France with € 15 billion.

Real estate prices are now picking up in Spain, after declining by 35% on average since 2008 (by 50-60% in some regions). It is therefore the best time to invest in Spanish real estate in more than a decade.

Besides, Spain is a full member of the European Union, the Schengen Treaty and the Euro Zone, thus benefitting from free movement of goods, people and capital. EU membership and a network of bilateral investment treaties with foreign countries provide sound protection to overseas investors.
