• Data from the Bank of Spain Public debt remains out of control: it rebounded more than 81,000 million in 2021 and marked a new historical maximum of 1,428 billion

Almost 100,000 million.

Specifically, 99,185

.

It is the remarkable figure to which the debt already accumulated by Social Security rises.

This was evidenced yesterday by the Bank of Spain, which published the closing data for 2021 and with which it also showed that the increase during the past year was 16%.

The continuous loans from the State to the General Treasury of the Social Security and, in general, the pressure to which

a pension system is subjected that is incapable of facing the growing obligations

, have given rise to this complicated situation, which , however, does not seem to worry the Government.

Or, at least, there is no statement about it.

In fact, yesterday, after the BdE made public the debt data of all the Administrations, what the Ministry of Economic Affairs did was to positively assess the figures.

«The debt of the Public Administrations was reduced to 118.7% of the Gross Domestic Product in 2021, improving the objective set in the Budget Plan», Nadia Calviño pointed out from the department.

"The GDP debt ratio was reduced by 1.3 percentage points, beginning in 2021 the path of reduction planned by the Government," he added, later underlining "

the positive evolution of the economy

, especially in the second half of the year."

Nothing was said, therefore, of those almost 100,000 million that Social Security accumulates, nor that the liabilities of the Administrations as a whole are also at record highs: it reaches

1,428 billion euros after rising more than 80,000 million in just 12 months

.

In this way, Spain's debt maintains a growing trend that dates back to 2007. Since that distant year, all years have closed with an increase in absolute terms.

And the crisis derived from the coronavirus has only exacerbated this situation.

So much so that

since February 2020 the increase has already exceeded 200,000 million

euros.

The fact that Spain and all the European countries increased their debt was a process endorsed by the European authorities themselves.

It was necessary, they estimated in Europe, to face the galloping crisis.

The problem, in the specific Spanish case, is that the figures from which they started were already very high.

And that is why the ability to react was less and the figures that the Spanish economy now accumulates are more alarming.

In this context, and so that Spain does not again have that less margin of action in the face of future crises,

all the organizations have asked the Government to begin reducing liabilities

.

The Bank of Spain, the Independent Authority for Fiscal Responsibility (AIReF) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which this week again influenced this point.

The Executive, however, does not plan additional measures or a specific plan to contain the debt.

The growth of the economy and the good performance of tax revenues, they expect in Economy, will cause the figures to go down.

But that is not what all the targeted organizations are asking for,

for which the plans presented are insufficient
