Overview 
Spain's economy is vibrant. Since entering the EU in 1986, Spain has become one of the most dynamic economies in Europe. After GDP growth of 3.4 percent in 2005, the economy is forecast to slow gradually to 2.5 percent in 2007. Despite its buoyant economy, Spain cannot afford complacency. Major remaining challenges are reducing unemployment further, absorbing widespread social changes, reducing deficit, lowering inflation and raising per capita GDP.
VISAS
