La crisis terminará en los próximos meses, según Caixa CatalunyaThe crisis will end in the coming months, according to Caixa Catalunya
January 19, 2010
According to the latest half-yearly report of Caixa Catalunya, the crisis will end during the second quarter of 2010, when the GDP will again register positive quarterly variation, mainly thanks to the improvement of domestic demand. Also the unemployment rate may have peaked, although it will remain stable until the end of the year. Thereafter it could begin to create net jobs, although it will take several years to recover the pre-crisis levels of occupation.
