June 25 (Reuters) - Spain's gross domestic product grew 0.6% in the first quarter of 2026, below the 0.8% growth in the previous quarter, the country's National Statistics Institute (INE) said on Thursday, confirming both the expectations of analysts polled by Reuters and the preliminary data.

On an annual basis, Spain's first-quarter economic output expanded by 2.7%, also confirming INE's preliminary reading and the analysts expectations.
