33rd richest country in the world.
The average GDP adjusted to PPP per capita in the last 10 years was
$32,832.32 (USD).

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 strongly affected the economy of Spain. This undid much of the economic boom that the country had enjoyed throughout most of the 2000s. The GDP shrunk and unemployment rates soared. In one year alone, 1.2 million jobs had been lost in the country. This was partly due to the end of a construction boom which had been ongoing in the country.

However, by 2013-2014, the country's economy began to improve, recovering much of its GDP that was lost during the years of shaky economic performance. This is partly due to Spain's status as an attractive tourist destination, as well as its increase in exported material.

As Spain is not home to any fossil fuels, it imports all fossil fuels used in the country. Global expansion of Spanish companies has occurred in recent years, particularly within Central America. The major exports of Spain include cars and vehicle parts, medications, wine, fruits (particularly of the citrus variety), meat, and olive oil.
