Abstract

The Spanish economy continues to contract as it undergoes a difficult process of correcting pre-crisis imbalances. The challenge of this adjustment has been exacerbated by weak economic conditions in many of Spain’s main trading partners and by continued financial market fragmentation within the euro area. Spain is undertaking a major program of financial sector reform with support from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).
