Spain
Spain’s moderate recovery is projected to strengthen gradually in 2014-15. Economic growth will be led mainly by exports, although private consumption will also strengthen, aided by an improving labour market and stronger confidence. Business investment is projected to benefit from the better economic outlook and higher exports. Higher activity will result in positive employment growth, but ample spare capacity will keep inflation low. This will enable further competitiveness gains, although there is a risk of deflation, which would make debt reduction more difficult.
