Spain's Burgeoning Economy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the amazing turnaround in Spain's economy in the last three years. Formerly believed to be the last to qualify for entrance into the monetary union, including former Eastern bloc countries, when the Euro is launched in 1999, Spain now appears not only to qualify for first-wave membership, but to also be one of the front runners, able to enter the monetary union on solid ground rather than just barely making it past minimum requirements set forth at Maastricht. Other European nations' economies have improved in recent years, but Spain's is the only one that has been driven by internal demand rather than by exports, indicating a stronger financial position than some of the others enjoy.
