Spanish business response to geopolitical uncertainty
Overview
Spanish companies have reported varying levels of impact from international tensions. According to the Bank of Spain’s Business Activity Survey, the perceived negative effects of the conflict in Iran on international and domestic demand decreased during the third quarter of 2026. Additionally, the percentage of firms reporting that uncertainty was negatively affecting investment decisions saw a slight decline.
Despite these specific reductions in impact, broader geopolitical and economic uncertainty remains a significant concern for the private sector. A report by Beazley indicates that 88% of Spanish business executives believe current uncertainty will limit growth plans, while 84% believe political shifts affect profitability. To manage these risks, 77% of companies expect to modify supply chains, and many are investing in resilience against artificial intelligence risks or utilizing insurance for business continuity.
