It is the second recession in just over two years for the eurozone’s fourth largest economy and comes as the government tries to convince investors it will not need outside aid to pay its bills like other countries caught up in the debt crisis. The country is facing intense pressure from its European peers to fix public finances as well as growing domestic resistance to austerity measures that have helped push unemployment to more than double the EU average.
Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s added to the country’s problems with a two-notch rating downgrade last week and on Monday it chopped the credit score of 11 banks. While the 0.3 per cent contraction from January to March from the previous quarter was slightly better than the forecast drop of 0.4 per cent, it confirmed the economy is in a tough spot.
“The wheels are very clearly coming off the economy,” Jefferies economist David Owen said.
“It wouldn’t surprise me to see a very significant decline in GDP both in the second and third quarters this year, and it’s still reasonably easy to envisage GDP to be down about 1.5 per cent this year.”
Spain was last in recession at the end of 2009.
