Report Highlights
The Spanish economy has been "booming", resulting in major growth of the
consumer credit market. However, Datamonitor believes that while Spain will
continue to see strong economic performance, thus maintaining its status as
one of the fastest growing economies in Western Europe, there will be a slight
slowdown in the near future.
Consumers in Spain borrowed more through point of sale (POS) retail finance in
2004 than any other product. Much of the POS retail finance market in Spain is
made up of private label cards, which are used for short term lending - thus
accounting for the higher proportion of gross advances compared to balances
outstanding for POS retail finance.
The rapid growth experienced in the Spanish retail finance sector has occurred
hand-in-hand with a boom in the Spanish consumer credit market as a whole,
largely buoyed by favorable economic conditions. In addition, the rise in
mortgage borrowing has further increased spending on furniture and other
household items for newly purchased properties.
