Andalusia economic data reveals wealth retention and employment challenges
Recent economic and social wealth indices for Andalusia highlight a significant gap in living standards and employment compared to other Spanish regions. Despite a high level of economic activity, there are concerns regarding the region's long-term ability to retain value within its local territory.
According to the 2025 Input-Output Framework published by the IECA, Andalusia maintains a powerful economy with notable sector performance: the industrial sector reached 103 billion euros in turnover with 260,000 employees, construction generated 27 billion euros with 212,000 workers, and tourism exceeded 32 billion euros in production with 561,000 employees.
However, critics point out that these figures do not address how much of this wealth remains and circulates within the local community. This has led to discussions regarding a 'regenerative habitat economy' to better strengthen the territorial ecosystem and ensure that economic growth translates into improved quality of life for the population.
