This year will be even worse for the Spanish economy, IMF says

The IMF on the 23 January 2013 said it had revised its economic growth forecast for Spain slightly downward for 2013, predicting that the recession in 2013 would be wider than in 2012, with Spain missing out on what is expected to be a gradual global upturn.
