Summary
Spain looked like a country with a dark economic future. This has changed. Economic aspects such as GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, fiscal policy and the performance of stock market has highly improved. More jobs have been created, too. Alongside Spain, Greece and Ireland are seeing better days, too. Denmark is improving with the help of Novo Nordic’s anti-obesity drugs. Spanish policymakers can use this situation to continue improving service-related business rather than manufacturing ones. Following the developments, Spain is seeing strikes of immigration. It is also welcoming investments from China. Structural reforms in Spain were a big help. In the labor market, renegotiating contracts have been made easier and a permanent staff has become more common. Banks are running in an efficient system and green energy was able to better develop with lower taxes. There is still work to do. Tourism and immigration mean high house prices. Further economic development is never easy. The unstable coalition government must pass policies to encourage long-term growth policies. Business costs are too high at the moment. Defense spending is advised to be raised. Spain’s amazing case shows how Europe’s seemingly stagnant economy can overcome its problems.
