The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that the Spanish recession would be worse than initially estimated as the country’s economy will contract 1.7 percent in 2012 and 1.2 percent in 2013.

The IMF also said on Friday that increasing market tension could upset Spain's ability to finance itself, despite a eurozone bailout agreed for Spanish banks and other financial reforms for the country.
