Spain could be forced to seek a bail-out within months, warns Barclays - Telegraph

Spain could be forced to seek a bail-out within months, warns Barclays - Telegraph: "After Ireland was finally forced this week to ask for financial help from the European Union and International Monetary Fund, Barclays analysts now say it is possible that a similar fate could await Spain.
In the first four months of 2011, the Spanish government and the country's banks must raise about €70bn (£59.2bn) in the bond market, which Barclays said would be a 'big test for investor appetite', adding that it was concerned with the 'execution risk'.
'Our view is that the challenges facing Spain remain substantial – with the likelihood of a positive outcome poor until at least the sovereign and the banks have successfully navigated their way over the funding hump facing them both in Spring 2011,' said the analysts."
