Spanish exports will increase by 4.2% in 2013, which tops the European average and confirms that the foreign trade has become the main driver of the national economy.
The optimistic forecast does not come from the Spanish government, but from the European Commission itself, which tracks the quality and prices of goods offered by Spanish companies and how these features compare to their competition in the region. The good news is not a one-time blessing, because Spain's trade surplus is expected to continue growing this year thanks to increased financial strength and lower debt interest rates. It is worth remembering that many times in the Spain's history; increased foreign trade has helped it get out of a financial crisis.
