The move comes after higher interest rates have yielded record profits for banks as the cost of loans has soared.

    The unemployment rate is horrendous, at 13.3% in the first quarter of 2023. In comparison, Germany was at around 5.5%, the UK at about 3.8%, and the US at around 3.5%.

    Edit: And when you scope that to youth unemployment, the rate in Spain is nearly 30%. I won’t pretend to know enough about Spanish economic policy to speculate on causes, but things are not exactly going well.

        Okay?

        I’m genuinely not understanding your point. That website shows 13.01% unemployment it 2022, and 28.34% for youth. These are very high.

          So you misses the point if this entire discussion.

            I’ll maintain that the Spanish economy is not exactly a good example of economic prosperity, and thank you for providing additional data that exactly shows that point. Cheers.

              And I never said it is which proves, again, that you didn’t understand anything that was said here. Cheers.
