Spain’s Social Security system recorded a 7.8 % rise in contributions in the first three months of 2026, reaching €46.715 million—an increase of €3.396 million over the same period in 2025. The rise, driven largely by a 8.0 % uptick in employed contributions and a 3.8 % increase from unemployed workers, also includes a 29.5 % growth in intergenerational equity mechanism payments, which total €1.417 million. Compared with the pre‑pandemic 2019 level, contributions are up 52.8 %. By March 31, the system posted a net positive balance of €3.422 million, or 0.2 % of GDP, thanks to a 7.8 % rise in recognized rights and a 7.2 % rise in obligations. Cash collection hit €57.064 million, 8.8 % higher than last year.
