http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22305953
Spain's government has revised down its forecast for the Spanish economy this year, saying the level of contraction is likely to be worse than previously predicted.
Madrid now expects the economy to contract by 1.3% in 2013, compared with its earlier estimate of -0.5%.
The announcement came as the government presented its economic programme for the next three years.
Spain's unemployment rate hit 27.2% in the first three quarters of 2013.
