International investors convey their confidence in Spanish economy to Minister for Economy and Business

The meetings, part of the minister's habitual agenda, served to confirm the stability of the Spanish economy and to observe the confidence among international investors.

This growing confidence in the international markets in our country is facilitating better financing conditions, and lower interest rates. The cost of outstanding debt hit a new all-time low in 2018. Furthermore, the syndicated issue by the Treasury in January had the highest demand in the history of the euro.

Spain will grow in 2019 by above the European average, according to all forecasts, with an even higher growth differential following the latest updated forecasts by such organisations as the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund.

The minister reiterated Spain's commitment to reducing public debt and to fiscal discipline, one of the government's economic policy cornerstones, together with social cohesion and the reforms structured around the Agenda for Change.
