\"There are reasons to think that this can go well, as long as policies do not spoil it\", concluded Crist\u00f3bal Montoro, former Minister of Finance of the PP, referring to the Spanish economy, in his speech at the Proa Comunicaci\u00f3n Observatory on Thursday 4 July. Montoro spoke on 'The Spanish economy and its pending challenges' to a large group of professionals and businesspeople as part of the Genoa Financial Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Finance Minister, who has been at the \"genesis\" of more Budgets, 15, justified what he considers \"an important and positive moment\" for the Spanish economy in that it is at the head of world growth, with a positive balance of payments for the last six years, \"for the first time in history\", and the creation of 500,000 jobs per year. These factors make it \"the most competitive growth\" we have ever experienced. To graphically show the evolution, he recalled that in 1950, when he was born, there were ration cards and that in 1959 the per capita income was 2,000 dollars, while today it is 25,000 euros.<\/p>\n
