Spain's GDP fell slightly less than expected in 2020, still worst on record
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's coronavirus-battered economy shrank by 10.8% in 2020, official data showed on Friday, in a marginally less severe contraction than the previously reported 11% but still the worst annual decline on record.
The data showed a weaker than expected fourth quarter with a 0% variation from the third, compared with a flash estimate for 0.4% growth and following a 16.4% quarterly jump in the third quarter.
