The increase in total tourist spending with cards by Spaniards and foreigners slowed during the second four-month period of 2025, standing at 5.7% y/y (4.5 pp less than in the previous period), in a context of rising prices.

The Big Data Private Consumption Index showed a marked slowdown in its year-over-year growth in June (3.0% compared to 15.6% in May).

The Big Data Private Consumption Index recorded a yoy growth of 11.6% in April, surpassing both the March figure (10.9%) and the result for the first quarter as a whole (Q1 2025: 8.7%).

The Big Data Private Consumption Index registered a yoy growth of 10.7% in March, accelerating from a 5.5% increase in February. The stronger growth was partly driven by two additional working days compared to the same month last year (as Easter was celebrated in March 2024).

Five weeks after the DANA (December 3–9), most indicators in Valencia province displayed stronger performance than those in the rest of Spain. However, foreign card spending continued to lag behind the national growth rate.

Spending in the province of Valencia rebounded during the week of November 19 to 25. The growth differential with the rest of Spain became positive in most indicators, although the most affected municipalities still show significant falls.

Most indicators show an improvement in economic activity in Valencia during the week of November 5 to 11, although both the growth rates and, more importantly, the levels remain below what would have been observed without the DANA, particularly in the hardest-hit municipalities, where significant impacts are still evident.
