THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SPANISH FINANCIAL THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE SPANISH FINANCIAL SYSTEMSYSTEM
In the early 80s the Spanish financial system was rigid, underdeveloped,
closed and heavily intervened. But it has since changed drastically
Two main (interlinked) driving factors:
Changes in the macroeconomic environment
Changes in financial regulation

CHANGES IN THE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTCHANGES IN THE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
High inflation, increasing fiscal deficit and interest rate volatility fostered
financial innovation
At the same time fostered stabilisation policies:
Decisive anti-inflationary orientation of monetary policy, which
gradually gained credibility
Fiscal consolidation plan, which received further impulse from the
run up to EMU
Spain joined EEC in 1986 and the Peseta entered the ERM in 1989
As a positive result of those policies, Spain successfully completed its
nominal convergence process by being included among the first group of
countries forming the EMU in 1999

FINAL REMARKSFINAL REMARKS
The Spanish financial system is currently a developed, internationalised and healthy system
It is still mainly a bank-based system although both other intermediaries and markets are gaining momentum
Banks’ health and market consolidation place the Spanish financial system in a good position to face the challenges of financial globalisation
