Imposing extreme austerity policies on the economies of the eurozone more damaged public debt markets is not bringing the expected results: neither strengthens confidence of economic agents or bond investors believe that the solvency of the treasures public has increased. The debt continues to trade the risk of fragmentation reversibility or euro is not about only and exclusively with the situation of these economies and, of course, the recession we are sinking: no income growth can not pay debts. In reality, these policies are procyclical pronouncing the recession and helping to accentuate the social costs of the same through mainly from rising unemployment.
In any of these cases, the Spanish economy, of course, the only source of growth, although less and less powerful, are exports of goods and services. The lack of domestic demand is not being compensated much less for conduct of foreign sales is certainly remarkable. It has influenced, among other factors, the moderate wage behavior, which has strengthened the competitiveness of exporters. That is the essence of the so-called internal devaluation: the adjustment in factor costs, specifically the work, unable to resort to another devaluation, the exchange rate, the external, in order to strengthen the international competitiveness of domestic firms.
Without income growth can not pay debts
At the origin of the crisis, the Spanish economy suffered a deficit in the current account of the balance of payments of the world's bulkier relative to the size of its economy. The responsibility of this imbalance was attending a poor export performance and a growing increase in foreign purchases. Now imports have weakened, and if they have not done more is because of the rigidity with much-needed energy imports. A reduction of the trade balance and current account deficits have contributed prominently Spanish exports, which have hardly lost market share in the global set during the crisis. This has been largely due to the containment of the increase in wage income if not its apparent reduction in some sectors has enabled the renewed international competitiveness via prices that has made exports grow, though moderating as major partners accused trade recession in the eurozone as a whole.
It would be a mistake to rely on the containment of wage income, largely determined by the threats of high unemployment experienced by the Spanish economy, to strengthen the recovery. The course is limited in any case necessary unflattering revival of domestic demand and, of course, of social cohesion. The internal devaluation, in any case, can not be the solution to the crisis. The improvement of the monetary union itself, achieving greater factor mobility within it and a true fiscal union soften the settings currently endured by population in the peripheral economies.
