The impact of the housing bubble related banking crisis on small and medium sized business in Spain
02/25/2010
About 60% of the economy and 80% of the jobs in Spain are with small and medium sized business. The consolidation of banks is leading to loss of local contact. The need to build capital reserves to cover bad loan losses means banks are calling in loans to these businesses. This is happening in smaller towns and cities across Spain, and will worsen the already high 25% unemplyment rate. The credit squeeze is hurting the recovery.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
