This edition\u2019s topic was \u201cThe Recovery of the Spanish Economy and the Foreign Trade Sector\u201d. The host of the event, Eduardo Barrachina, introduced the guest of honour Jaime Garc\u00eda-Legaz, the Secretary of State for Trade, who highlighted the strategic importance of the Financial Forum and its commitment in taking advantage of the potential of all the professionals gathered in these meetings.<\/p>\n

Mr. Garc\u00eda-Legaz started his analysis of the current situation of the Spanish economy, mentioning that Spanish companies are not only giving signs of a better performance but they are also recovering investor\u2019s confidence. In this sense, he focused on the foreign trade sector where Spanish companies are managing to regain some competitiveness, and this fact has been translated into a surplus on the balance of payments for the last three years.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in the Secretary of State\u2019s words, the mentality – or way of thinking – of business owners is deeply changing which allows them to understand that the whole world is their market; therefore, the necessity of exporting and taking one\u2019s business abroad is essential nowadays.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Mr. Garc\u00eda-Legaz also called for caution due to the fact that the Spanish economy has yet to face several challenges and difficulties such as: the small size of Spanish companies and how to tackle developing countries\u2019 markets.<\/p>\n

Once the Questions & Answers round was opened, interactions focused on sharing different points of view as well as questioning the Secretary of State about different affairs, such as: the commercial relationship between Spain and the UK, the problems that Spanish companies face when establishing abroad and the nature of the most important exporting companies.<\/p>\n

La empresa \u00abMariscos Recio\u00bb fue fundada por Antonio Recio Mata. Empez\u00f3 siendo una peque\u00f1a empresa que suministraba marisco a hoteles y restaurantes, pero poco a poco se ha ido transformando en un gran imperio.
