European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Paolo Hernandez de Cos said on Tuesday that he expects the Spanish economy to grow strongly in the third quarter. However, de Cos further acknowledged that the recovery is likely to be “incomplete and uneven,” as reported by Reuters.
“Spanish companies with liquidity strains due to COVID-19 could suffer solvency problems,” de Cos added.
