Bloomberg Economics reported that US investments in Spain increased by 84% in the first half of 2026 compared with the prior year. This growth occurred even as investors maintained activity amid political tensions between the two countries, according to government data released Monday.
The same dataset indicates that overall foreign investment in Spain climbed 31.2% during the six-month period. Total inflows reached €12.4 billion, a figure that equates to €14.2 billion. American capital grew at a rate more than double the average increase for all foreign sources, keeping the United States as the leading investor in Spain. Spanish authorities published the figures, which were analyzed by Bloomberg Economics to show the divergence between US flows and broader international trends.
