British companies invested an estimated one billion euros in Spain in the first half of this year with Britain being one of the major international backers of Spain. According to the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain this figure places Britain at the top of the European rankings, second only to the €1.442 billion invested by the United States in the first half of 2025.
British investment in 2025 has been concentrated mainly in the ‘information services’ and ‘telecommunications’ sectors, which have received nearly two-thirds of the flows.
According to the Chamber of Commerce: "these positive figures for British investment in Spain come on top of the recent agreement signed between Spain and the United Kingdom, a clear sign of both countries' desire to not only strengthen their commercial and business relationship, but also their strategic relationship.
"The new framework for economic cooperation contributes to creating a more stable and predictable environment, favouring the growth of bilateral investment flows. It also creates favourable conditions for British companies to expand their presence in Spain and for the development of new joint investment opportunities."
And what is more the more than 150 large British-based companies in Spain are upbeat about 2026 and they plan to continue with their spending.
