U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and Spain’s deputy prime minister, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, met today to discuss Spain’s plans to bolster its banking system.
The two officials discussed “the significant progress that Spain has made on fiscal and structural reforms, the Spanish government’s plans to strengthen its financial sector and support recovery and job creation, and the broader challenges facing Europe and the global economy,” Treasury spokeswoman Kara Alaimo said in an e-mailed statement today. The meeting was held at the Treasury Department.
