De Guindos said that Spain had agreed to officially request assistance from the European Financial Stability Facility rescue fund to recapitalize its troubled banks. Spanish government is also burdened by a large fiscal deficit. Its10-year bond yield jumped to nearly 7 percent, making it difficult for the country to raise enough money to bailout its own banks.
Spain is the fourth-largest economy in the EU and follows Greece, Ireland and Portugal in requesting bailout funds. Economic analysts say this indicates how serious the Eurozone debt crisis has become.
