The falls in the stock market this year have taken their toll on Spain, which is losing weight in Europe after two of the country's largest listed companies,

It is the first time that both companies have left the index, to which they belonged since its creation, so that now only

Inditex, Iberdrola, Banco Santander and Amadeus

remain

with the Spanish flag.

Pernod Ricard, Kone, Vonovia, Adyen and Prosus

will join their respective vacancies.
