But Spanish policymakers and business leaders appeared to grasp the nature of the pre-crisis economic imbalances – and the importance of the tradable sector as a recovery engine. Recognizing that the economy could not benefit from a partial restoration of competitiveness without structural shifts, the government passed a significant labor-market reform in the spring of 2013.
但西班牙的政策制定者和商界领袖似乎抓住了危机前经济失衡的本质——以及贸易部门作为复苏引擎的重要性。而在重新认识到经济是无法从一个缺乏结构性转换的局部竞争力修复中得益之后，政府在2013年春季通过了一项重大的劳动市场改革。此项改革争议极大，但正如所有这些手段一样，它废除了对劳动者的某些保护措施。但最终的保护依然是要实现就业的不断增长。虽然有所滞后，但改革如今似乎已经结下硕果。
