Article reports that investor fears over the financial health of Spain were raised again on the 14 June 2010 amid warnings of funding problems for the country’s companies and banks.

Government bonds were sold off sharply as the Spanish Treasury secretary and a leading banker admitted companies and banks were having difficulties raising funds.

The comments came as Spanish officials sought to dispel worries of an imminent European Union rescue.
