Spain Coming Out of a Recession

Last week Spain officially came out of a two year recession. Over this past quarter, the economy has grown by .1%, and though many fear a sharp decline, this is a definite sign of progress considering that the past nine quarters have resulted in a decline. Though the recession is officially over, it will take years for Spain to recover as the unemployment rate is around 26% and is not expected to decrease until next year at the earliest. Fiona Govan, a correspondent for the Daily Telegraph in Madrid, has stated that "Spain's borrowing costs have fallen sharply," which indicates that positive economic progress is being made throughout the country.
