The Prime Minister highlighted Spain's soundness as an investment destination and underlined the key role of the foreign sector in the economy as a guarantee of recovery. He pointed out that the country is the “16th exporter of goods in the world and the 11th in services” and that Spain “exports a third of our GDP”.

The economic forum continued at midday with a lunch presided by Luis de Guindos, Minister of Economy, Competitiveness and Industry, followed by a dinner at the Palacio de la Bolsa in Madrid hosted by Sebastián Albella, Chairman of the National Stock Market Commission.

During the two days, the SID will host hundreds of one-on-one meetings between companies, and a variety of seminars featuring talks by Spanish executives and government representatives. The closing ceremony on Wednesday will be presided by Álvaro Nadal, Minister for Energy, Tourism and the Digital Agenda.
