(ANSAmed) - MADRID, FEBRUARY 3 - Confidence in the economy
among Spaniards continues to nosedive, falling by 2.7 points to
68.3 in January compared to the previous month, some way beneath
the 100-point mark that indicates a positive perception of the
economic situation, according to figures released today by
Spain's national institute of statistics.
Prospects are especially negative regarding the domestic
economy, with 57.6% of Spaniards saying that they struggle to
get to the end of the month or have to eat to eat in to their
savings, while a further 6.3% have been forced to run up debts
to cover their monthly needs.
Prospects for the future are no more promising, with 70% of those interviewed saying that the economic situation will be similar or worse in the next six months. The increase in prices, the freeze on wages and the continuing escalation of unemployment are the main reasons for pessimism. (ANSAmed).
