Abstract

After the slowdown in the rate of GDP growth in 2019, the health crisis caused by COVID and the measures subsequently approved to contain its expansion led to a contraction of Galician economic activity of 8.9% - two points lower than the state measure (11%). Throughout the year, Galicia performed better than the Spanish economy, registering the most negative impact in the second quarter, with a year-on-year drop of 18%. After the rebound experienced in the third quarter, the last months of the year were marked by new outbreaks and new restrictive measures that contributed to a 7.6% year-on-year drop in GDP.
