Spain's economy starts to falter
SPAIN'S once-booming economy is in worse shape than expected and could slip to zero growth, the country's finance minister admitted yesterday.
But the Socialist government does not expect a recession, Pedro Solbes said.
For more than a decade, Spain's robust growth was the envy of much of Europe.
However, new figures suggest that the economy will expand only 1.6 per cent this year and 1 per cent in 2009, compared with 3.8 per cent in 2007, Solbes said.
