The Pain in Spain

FT.com: Spain caught in credit freeze

Spanish companies face much tougher credit conditions as a result of a dramatic change in perceptions of country risk, brought on by fear that Spain’s house price bubble is about to burst.

According to rating agency Standard & Poor’s, Spanish corporate debt is at an historic high point, totalling 106 per cent of gross domestic product last year compared with a Eurozone average of 70 per cent.

Ooh. This is more interesting than it first appears.

The credit freeze has come about because of the expectation of a housing crash. Interesting.
