The President of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi, has been warned that tax increases approved by the eurozone countries with problems to balance public accounts such as Spain, are aggravating the recession and called instead cuts in current spending. "In the face of fiscal consolidation, as those governments were in a hurry, very focused its efforts on tax increases, which is easier and much less in current spending cuts," Draghi said in an appearance before the commission Economic Affairs of the Parliament.
"This is one reason why some of these countries are seeing the benefits (fiscal consolidation) and their economies are sliding into recession," he highlighted before stressing that "now, if the urgency is gradually overcomes this fiscal consolidation should be redirected toward more spending cuts and less taxes. "
This warning, however, contrasts with the assessment that has made the decisions to date have taken the Spanish authorities. According to MEPs said, "have shown that they are fully committed to accelerate the structural reform agenda" and fix the situation in the financial sector. "We also are committed to improving external competitiveness and lay the groundwork for a more sustainable prosperity," Draghi held.
