Secondo il Fondo monetario internazionale, per la prima volta dal 1946 la Spagna avrà un debito pubblico inferiore a quello della Finlandia.

>*Public debt has become the main threat to the global economy in recent years. Economists, institutions, and experts are increasingly convinced that the next economic crisis will be the result of a debt crisis in one of the regions with the greatest imbalances.*

>*A good example of the seriousness of the situation is that countries that were heavily indebted a few years ago now seem to be giving lessons to some of those considered frugal, not so much because of the improvement of the former, but because of the rapid deterioration of the public finances of the latter. A good example is the sorpasso that is about to take place in Europe, an overtaking that would have been unthinkable just five years ago and is now very close to happening.*

>*By the end of the decade, Finland will have more public debt than Spain (or vice versa, Spain will have less debt than Finland, a surprising overtaking), something that has not happened since 1946, when the Nordic country was tied to the costs of World War II. This shift is also a clear example of the new revolution that European debt is undergoing, in which countries that years ago were exemplary or beyond reproach are now gradually becoming the epicenter of the problems (France, Finland, Austria, etc.).*
