Greek politics may determine the euro's short-term future, but it is Spain that poses the single currency's most difficult problem. The euro zone's fourth-biggest economy is caught in an increasingly desperate spiral of deepening recession, drowning banks and soaring borrowing costs. Time to solve Spain's debt crisis is running out. Doing so requires a radical rethink in Madrid, but above all in Brussels and Berlin. Spain's government should be free to focus less on fiscal austerity and more on cleaning up the banks. Its European partners should also help by allowing joint rescue funds to be injected directly into banks. Spain's problem is one of misdiagnosis. Its government and European officials reckon the main challenge is fiscal. They argue that the budget deficit, which reached 8.9% of GDP last year, must be brought down as fast as possible to boost confidence and cut borrowing costs. Spanish politicians have dithered about cleaning up the country's banks, for fear that doing so would demand an injection of public funds which, in turn, would worsen the government's finances.
