Focus on Spain
16th March 2011
I will be developing a series of data charts and links to other resources in this blog for students and teachers who want to use developments in the Spanish economy as part of their macro studies. The economy is a member of the single European currency but widely regarded as experiencing deep structural problems and facing a tough adjustment process in the years ahead. At the bottom of the blog we link to recent articles on the Spanish economy. The OCR F585 June 2011 paper focuses on Spain as one of the countries experiencing difficulties within the Euro Area.
