Spanish PM meets business leaders to rally confidence

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Spain’s Prime Minister, hosted 37 business chiefs on the 27 November 2010 to advertise a joint commitment to economic reform and promote international confidence in the country in the midst of the eurozone crisis.

The weekend meeting at the prime minister’s office in Madrid – bringing together senior ministers and company bosses employing 1m people and with turnover equivalent to 40% of Spain’s economic output – was the latest attempt to convince investors that Spain has no need of a bail-out from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
