Spain's public debt-to-GDP ratio fell to 99.9% in July 2026, marking the first time the figure has dropped below the 100% threshold since February 2020. Data released by the Banco de España on Thursday shows the total debt reached 1.744 trillion euros in July. The ratio decreased by 2.4 percentage points compared to July 2025, despite the absolute debt balance growing by 3.8% annually. The Spanish State's debt stood at 1.589 trillion euros, while Social Security debt rose 7.9% to reach 136.176 billion euros in July. This decline follows a record high of 1.762 trillion euros in June 2026. The government expects the ratio to reach 99.3% by year-end, supported by a Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan that outlines a downward trajectory for national debt in coming years. **Bank Of Spain** ## Related news ![Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() [#Spain]() #Demographics #PopulationGrowth [#INE]() [#Migration]() 12 November 2026 at 12:57 ## [Spain's population hits record 49.9 million]() > New INE data reveals Spain's population reached a historic peak on 1 October 2026, driven almost entirely by foreign-born residents. #Sabadell [#BankOfSpain]() #MortgageFraud #BankingRegulation [#Spain]() 11 November 2026 at 17:15 ## [Bank of Spain fines Sabadell €16.5m over mortgages]() > Banco Sabadell faces a €16.5 million penalty for illegally conditioning mortgage approvals on the purchase of linked insurance policies. #Aldi #ChristmasShopping [#Spain]() #Budgeting #RetailTrends 11 November 2026 at 16:55 ## [Aldi report: 71% of Spanish homes shop early]() > A study reveals most households buy Christmas food early to manage budgets, with many opting for store brands and items under five euros.
