Spain's struggling economy

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Lesley Curwen reports from Spain, the land of sun, sea, and sand - and a shrinking economy. As investors worry about Spain's rising debts and huge jobless queues we ask if its economy - bigger by far than Greece - be the next Euro zone candidate for a crisis? Javier Andres is a leading economist at Valencia University, who led a movement by a hundred economists calling for reform of Spain's two-tier labour market. We ask Spain's Secretary of State for the Economy, Jose Manuel Campa, whether Spain could become the next Greece. And we get the views of the Spanish people on their future.
