The problem in Spain is “a brutal level of debt,” said the minister, who added that “there is no doubt that the process of deleveraging households and businesses” will be painful. ”

The moderation in consumption of the investment is a process that must be accelerated to pass as soon as the minister, who nevertheless believes that Spain is advanced.

“The breakwater of this uncertainty about the future of the euro is in Spain right now,” said De Guindos, who has clarified that this situation is affecting not only Spain but also all the single currency.

So, after insisting that the government has done what it considers to have to do that is to carry out adjustment processes in the interest of fiscal consolidation, major economic reforms and sound banking, explained that the only way act “goes beyond the capacity of governments.”

“There are situations of irrationality in the markets, extreme nervousness,” said De Guindos, who said “not everything can be addressed by governments (…) must be approached from other points of view, with certain very specific actions” .

Asked if these actions are the purchase of debt by the European Central Bank (ECB), the minister has said that “you know it perfectly.”
