Austria’s Fekter Doesn’t See Spain Asking for Full Bailout

Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter said she doesn’t expect Spain to request a second bailout from its European partners.

“I don’t expect that they will ask for help,” Fekter said yesterday in a Bloomberg Television interview in Alpbach, Austria, noting that Spain managed to refinance itself on the capital markets this week. “It’s clear that we have a program for the bank situation in Spain, but not for the bond market.”
