The document summarizes recent economic and demographic trends in Spain. It discusses: 1) A fall in Spain's birth rate last year for the first time in a decade, declining 5% to an average of 1.4 children per woman. Marriage and death rates also declined. 2) Economic concerns in Europe over debt and a possible double-dip recession in the US slowed growth momentum. Recent US data suggested cyclical rather than risk factors were impacting foreign exchange. 3) The British pound found support near $1.50 and the euro reached almost $1.24 against the dollar as US regulatory reform passed and markets reacted positively. However, austerity measures were beginning to weigh on global growth prospects.
