34 3. Economic policy and structural reforms FIRST RESULTS In 2014Q4 the Spanish economy grew by 0.7% confirming its accelerating trend. As a result, in 2014 GDP grew by 1.4%, above the Government s estimate, and at the upper end of analysts projections Current Account Deficit: from roughly -10% in 2007 to a current account surplus in The current account has registered its second consecutive yearly surplus, +0.1 pp of GDP, supported by falling oil prices and accelerating real goods exports. The Aggregate Balance of the Capital Account and the Current Account in 2014 shows Spain s net lending capability vis-à vis the rest of the world of M in contrast with the borrowing needs of 5,834 million euros recorded in Spanish goods exports grew by 2.5% year-on-year in 2014 to billion euros, a new record for annual export figures. In real terms the growth was even greater - at 3.5%. This positive result in terms of exports exceeded the rate of growth posted by European exports (1.3%) and Eurozone exports (1.8%), as well as those of such countries as Italy (2%), France (-0.2%) and the United Kingdom (-11.1%). The ongoing geographic diversification of the Spanish exports pushes the increase of sales abroad: In 2014, our exports to non-eu countries grew for the fifth year in a row (0.2% year-on-year in 2014) despite the economic weakening in Latin America and some African countries. As a result, exports to non-eu countries have increased their share in Spanish exports from 27.5% of the total in 2005 to 36.6% in Foreign productive investment amounted to billion euros in 2014, 9.8% more than in 2013 (16.05 billion), according to data from the Foreign Investment Register of the Ministry of Economy Affairs and Competitiveness. 33

35 3. Economic policy and structural reforms The falling Unit Labour Costs in Spain are helping to gain competitiveness and to lower export prices. Nominal unit labour costs have declined by 6.9% since the peak in 2009, as a result of wage moderation and especially of increases in productivity (+2.3% in 2013). According to Eurostat, in the first three quarters of 2014, Spanish Unit Labour Costs have declined by 1.2%, by 0.1% and by 0.4%, while they have rose by 0.7%, by 1.0% and by 1.1% in the euro area. The rising productivity is explained not only by labour shedding, but also because of gains in Total Factor Productivity. In this sense, the European Commission (source AMECO) shows that TFP increased in Spain in 2014 (+0.77%), a higher expansion than that of the EU-28 (0.40% in 2014), Germany (0.66 %), France (-0.21%) or Italy (-0.40%) Labour Force Survey: In the last 12 months, employment has increased by 433,900 persons. For every three new jobs created in the European Union, two of these are created in Spain. The Construction Sector has accelerated its adjustment: Real estate prices have fallen on average by approx 30 % in nominal terms since the peak in Significantly More Houses Sold Than Started Or Finished: gradual reduction of unsold stock. The gross value added generated by the construction sector is expanding since 2014Q2, for the first time since 2008 The differential of the 10-year bond compared with the German bond has gone from over 600 basis points in August 2012 to around 100 basis points. World Bank s Ease of Doing Business 2014, Spain ranks 33 rd (from 52 nd in 2013) of a total of 185 countries. 34 4
