The reason for is that they are emergent countries, in other words, its economic situation is of strong growth. On the other hand, the crisis has serious effects many countries: Italy, Spain, England, Portugal, but mainly Greece. The crisis in Spain has some peculiarities: 1. The crisis of the brick. Spain was not only affected by the internacional financial crisis, also the crisis of the brick and the collapse of the building boom has provoked mistrust in the markets, restrictions in bank loans for the families and small companies, and high unemployment. 2. People lived over their real possibilities. One person who earned 1000 euros, had car and paid a mortgage of 900 euros. With the crisis, this situation ended. 3. The banks. They gave credits and mortagages, impossible to be paid by the people that requested them. The crisis of thebirk This term makes reference to the situation generated when building companies made more houses than needed. There was a lot of gambling and manipulation: People only bought houses to sell them and to earn easy money. In a normal situation when there is more supply than demand the prices decrease. But in Spain when there was more supply than demand the prices increased Why? Because people continued buying even though some of them couldnt afford it Consequences: Unemployment The building sectorn has been affected and this has influenced in many companies in a negative way; a lot of construction workers, brick layers, etc have been dismissed. As a result, unemployment has increased up to 20% more or less. Unemployment is a serious problem since it reduces the demand and the production. The small and medium companies are forced to close down increasing

unemployment. There isnt much money, consumption is reduced and social problems appear. Possible solutions The situation is difficult and the solutions arent clear. The objective is to reduce unemployment through re-activiting the economy and reducing public expeses. In addition, the banks must return to give loans and mortgages, acting responsibly, in order to increase consumption and to help the families that dont get money or unemployment benefits.
