Spain Private Banking Services, Directory of Spanish Banks
According to the World Bank, Spain's economy is the eighth biggest worldwide and the fifth largest in Europe. As of 2005, GDP was valued at $1.12 trillion, just behind Italy and ahead of Canada. Spain's mixed economy supports a GDP that on a per capita basis is 90% of that of the four leading West European economies and slightly above the European Union average. The centre-right government of former prime ministerAznar worked successfully to gain admission to the first group of countries launching the euro in 1999. Unemployment currently stands at 7.6% of the labour force (October 2006) having fallen from a high of 20% and above in the early 1990s. The country's economy has created more than half of all the new jobs in the European Union over the five years ending with 2005. The Spanish economy has thus been regarded lately as one of the most dynamic within the EU, attracting significant amounts of foreign investment
