The Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, dubbed COVID-19, is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting millions of people globally. The contagious Coronavirus, which broke out at the close of 2019, has led to a medical emergency across the world, with the World Health Organization officially declaring the novel Coronavirus a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

On March 17, 2020 the Spanish government announced a stimulus package worth 200bn ($224.5bn) - equivalent to a fifth of Spains GDP. The package includes 100bn ($112.3bn) of guarantees for business loans and 17bn ($19.1bn) of direct aid to companies. The government has also earmarked 30m ($33.7m) for research on developing a Coronavirus vaccine.

In addition, the government is also offering tax deferrals for six months for SMEs with annual turnover of less than 6.0m ($6.7m) in 2019. However, a cap of 30,000 ($33,681.02) was set on the total amount that can be deferred.

Scope

- The Spanish economy is heavily reliant on tourism, which represented 12% of the countrys GDP and 13% of employment as of the end of 2019. The steep dive in consumer spending in sectors including travel and tourism, accommodation, and food and drink will impact the payments industry.
- Cash has traditionally been a popular instrument for consumer payments in Spain, accounting for over 60% of total transaction volume. However, cash payments are set to decline, with banks and merchants urging customers to use non-cash payment methods to help contain the spread of the virus.
- When shopping in-store, consumers are likely to shift from low-value cash payments to contactless cards. In light of COVID-19, starting from March 20, 2020, Spanish banks temporarily increased the contactless payment limit from 20 ($22.45) to 50 ($56.14).
