Against all odds, against the predictions of international and private studios services, the Government insists that the Spanish GDP back down just 0.5% this year. Sufficient statistics released in the first month of 2013 to conclude, as the official forecast is the exception to the rule, the other triple predictions, at least, the expected fall-Executive Rajoy, it is impossible . The calculations of the Ministry of Economy derailed by the intensity of the recession in the final months of 2012.
The Bank of Spain advanced last week that GDP had declined from October to December 2012 by 0.6% from the previous quarter, the biggest drop since the Great Recession of 2009. One thing now worsened by the preliminary estimate of the National Statistics Institute (INE), yesterday announced that the quarterly decline was 0.7%.

A few days ago, the Minister of Economy, Luis de Guindos, detailed in the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) do you expect in 2013: GDP will remain in the red for the first half of the year to recover "in the third quarter a situation Stability and growth around 0%, and in the fourth quarter and will grow slightly. "
The INE shielding message Economy

Three hundredths count more than it seems. When the National Statistics Institute reported in its press releases, the evolution of GDP, remains in the tenths. To find the decimal had to dive into the statistical information offered on its website. Until statement yesterday: "The real GDP growth in the full year 2012 is estimated at -1.37%."
The accuracy, however, only affected the annual rate for the whole of 2012. In the quarterly change (-0.7%) and the annual change (-1.8%) for the estimated GDP for the fourth quarter, the statement holds true to the tradition of INE: limit the result to detail tenths.
The press service of the INE confirmed, without more, that was the first time that the information communicated well. The Institute, now president Gregorio Izquierdo, avoided the round to the annual change -1.4% of GDP in 2012. And at the same time, evidence that the fourth tenth came by just three hundredths, which was about to be -1.3%.
The 1.3% is precisely the prognosis that the Ministry of Economy, the department appointed to the post Izquierdo had aired in recent weeks. Economy had emphasized that the fall in GDP was less marked than its initial forecast (-1.5%) and Minister Luis de Guindos came to anticipate, also unusual shape, the Bank of Spain estimates: again, -1, 3%.
The final figure, -1.4%, just clouds the basic economics argument that 2012 was a bit less negative than expected. But, just in case, this time offered INE hundredths shielding the message. At the risk of leaving in question its independence.
It is a scheme similar to that handle private research services. But the intensity of the recession in the last quarter of 2012 not only anticipates a sharp fall in GDP at the start of this year, but also that, with a starting point, it is feasible that the average annual comparison remains in -0 , 5% as Economy handles. Following the scheme described by Guindos, for that to be possible in the fourth quarter of this year, GDP would have to grow much more than "slightly", at least, it would require a quarterly advance of 1.7%, a rate unattainable until for the Spanish economy in the years of the housing boom.
On average, according to the accounts of the INE, in 2012 GDP fell by 1.4% over the previous year. In this case, the government did hit upon (its latest forecast for 2012 was -1.5%), if only because the bajonazo demand has been such that it is the collapse of imports which enhances the contribution of the external sector. But analysts insist that the high level of unemployment (with an unemployment rate of 26%), the weakness of the euro area (also in recession) and impact of anticipated budget cuts like a drop in GDP this year.
All these data were already on the table last September, when the government maintained that GDP will fall by only 0.5% in 2013. It was not a trivial decision: with this fact, Treasury developed its estimates of revenue and expenditure for the 2013 draft budget. With this data and an estimate of employment trends that experts believe, again, failed. For if in 2012 the gap between expected and actual unemployment rate (24.6% vs 25%) and job destruction (by 3.7% compared to 4.5%) was Notably, this year threatens to be even higher.
Budgets say the average unemployment rate will fall to 24.3% and barely lose jobs (-0.2%) this year. With these rods, is expected to close Social Security in balance in 2013, when he racked up a deficit of 1% of GDP last year. Private analysts, however, estimate an unemployment rate close to 26.5% and that employment will further 3%. It is reflected in the last panel of forecasts Foundation of Savings Banks (Func), which includes 18 predictions forecasting centers and services of Spanish studies.
Funcas panels also serve to certify that analysts have serious difficulties to anticipate the economic downturn. In November 2011, when the Spanish economy had already given clear signs of stagnation, predictions about what would happen in 2012 optimism sinned again: the consensus forecast was that the economy would advance by 0.2% (was down 1.4%), and that the recession would last just two quarters (chains and six). Three months later, nearly all had corrected the prediction of GDP (some even switched from pessimistic), but still no analyst was able to predict that labor reform, then recently passed, would propel the average unemployment rate to 25% .
