Recapitalizing Spanish banks

November 14, 2011

Members of Spain’s Partido Popular (PP), which is expected to win the general elections on November 20, all agree that a recapitalization of Spanish banks and savings banks is a key to growth and jobs in Spain.

The Partido Popular (PP), which is poised to win the November 20 elections, thinks real estate will have a role in a Spanish recovery. According to the party’s statistics and data, demand for Spanish real estate ampng northern Europeans could equate to  2.5 to 3 million homes.  Such demand could easily absorb most of the 1 million-plus housing units currently on the books of banks and savings banks. The impact would probably be greatest in coastal areas.

Refinancing Spain’s Electricity Sector

August 2, 2011

Energy Minister, Miguel Sebastián’s announcement yesterday that his Ministry will not put forward a new regulatory regime for wind energy before the end of his term on the 20th of November means that Spanish energy policy will not be set until a new Government takes office on the 1st of January 2012. So what might energy policy look like as of 2012?Judging from what PP party members have told me in the past a new PP government may mean a refinancing of Spain’s electricity sector.
