Re: No One Expects the Spanish Revolution? (none / 1)

Spain has 300% of GDP private debt. And from these at least 200% are real estate debts.

This is what "the left" is all about. Party for bankera and oligarchs.

"And from these at least 200% are real estate debts."

Really?
Financial debt is 80-90%. This should mostly be from banks to other banks (or insurance companies), not real estate. Then household debts are similar, around 80-90%, now this should be real estate mostly. Are you suggesting that ALL non-financial business debt is real estate?

I understand, most of non-financial debts are construction business debts. Very hard to find data, however.

Or maybe not. The problem is that several spanish corporations (some of them building companies) were buying things in Europe with debt (aka, London airports, etc.)

"(aka, London airports, etc.)"

Same thing. Rent-seeking, not productive investment.
