Spanish retail's long-term prospects outweigh current slump

The phase of Spain being one of the EU's fastest growing retail markets has come to an end. Consumer confidence is falling sharply, and borrowing, which fuelled the consumer boom, has become much harder to secure in the current credit crunch.
