Comments from the Spanish economy minister

  • Sees GDP at 2.5% 2018 & 2.4% in 2019 & 2020

  • Expects unemployment at 12.9% 2019 & 11.2% in 2020

  • Inflation to stay under 2.0% until 2020

  • Budget deficit to be 2.2% in 2018

The GDP numbers have been mildly tinkered, if BBG's official forecasts data is up to speed, as it had 2017 GDP at 2.8% and 2018 at 2.3%, so one down, one up.
