"Spain has long been a popular retirement destination for foreigners but it is the worst country in the EU to retire, a new report has concluded. Spain recently came in 39th place in a world ranking that compared 44 countries, but it remains the worst in the EU, the third consecutive year that Spain has been at the bottom of the European index, according to data from the Global Retirement Index 2025 (GRI) by Natixis Investment Managers."
"The Natixis analysis takes into account a wide range of factors important to enjoy a healthy and secure retirement. In addition to finances and pensions, it considers access to and cost of healthcare, climate, governance and the general wellbeing of the population. Spain remains in 39th out of 44 with a score of 48/100, only ahead of Brazil, China, Turkey, Colombia and India, and behind Russia and Mexico."
"Despite being at the bottom of the rankings, Spain did show improvement this year in some indicators, such as in the health category, where it moved up one place to fifth in the life expectancy category with a score of 94 percent. Spain's national stats body INE forecasts life expectancy to continue rising in the country. Life expectancy at birth could reach 86.0 years in men and 90.0 in women by 2071, rises of 5.8 and 4.2 years compared to current life expectancy figures."
