In 2006, Spain's economy was booming, experiencing unparalleled growth since the turn of the millennium. With per capita output more than doubling in just six years, some economists predicted that Spain could surpass Germany in per capita income within five years, positioning itself as a central power in Europe.
The real estate sector thrived, with agents becoming local celebrities and tradespeople in high demand. However, this growth was unsustainable. The global financial crisis (GFC) and the Eurozone crisis abruptly ended debt-fueled expansion. Nearly two decades later, Spain's economy remains weaker than in 2007. High unemployment, stagnated economic activity, and persistent debt struggles paint a grim picture.
Spain's story serves as a cautionary tale. This raises critical questions: What fueled Spain's rapid economic growth? What led to its dramatic downfall? Why has the recovery been so slow?
