Key Takeaways
Spain's central government debt rose gradually from 34.4% in 1990 to a peak of 75.41% in 1996 due to fiscal expansion and economic challenges. By 2007, debt declined to 29.65%, reflecting the economic boom preceding the global financial crisis. However, the crisis caused debt to surge, reaching 91.7% by 2014.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated Spain's debt burden, pushing the ratio to 107.93% in 2020. Although economic recovery began in 2021, debt remained high at 102.25% in 2022, underscoring structural fiscal challenges despite stabilization efforts.
