Debt

Despite alarm bells in the press during 2011, the state of Spanish national debt is in fact rather better than the average in the EU, although it last year (2010) breached the 60% official limit for the Euro Zone. The worry has mainly been about the state of the current account, with spending falling more slowly than tax receipts. as a result, borrowing cannot come so easily under control.
The state deficit at the end of 2010 was 5.07%, well below the 6% expected. Debt to GDP was 62.8% at the 3rd Quarter, 2010. At the end of 2009 household debt stood at 903,000 million Euros, 678 of these being Mortgage debt. Firms owed 1.3 billion, 1% down on 2008.
