Year 2015 Last 25 February, the Quarterly National Accounts of Spain estimated the volume in growth of the Spanish economy for the four quarters of 2014, whose result was 3.2% for the whole year. The regional distribution of this data showed that Comunitat Valenciana was the Autonomous Community that registered a higher GDP growth in volume terms (3.6%), followed by Comunidad de Madrid (3.4%) and Cataluña (3.3%). Four regions registered real GDP growth rates similar to that of the national average (3.2%). Of these, Illes Balears and Castilla la Mancha were slightly above average, while Andalucia and Galicia stood slightly below. In turn, the smallest GDP growth rates in terms of volume were recorded in Cantabria (2.6%), the Autonomous City of Melilla and Aragón (2.7% for both of them). SRA Base 2010 (1/4) All Autonomous Communities, including the two cities with Statute of Autonomy, stood over the forecasted data for the whole 28-member European Union (EU-28), which stood at 1.8%.

In turn, the smallest real variation of the GDP, registered in Cantabria, was affected to a great extent by the decrease, in terms of volume, in the added value associated to the Agriculture and Industry, and and to a lesser extent in the Services sector.
