6.5. Costs
Investors award aspects relating to costs in Spain a good rating, scoring slightly better results than in the financial year 2009.
The varying importance that investors ascribe to the costs of skilled and unskilled labor is very significant, the former being more important,
which indicates an inflow of foreign investments of high added value. The rating is positive is both cases, but due to the high importance that
skilled workers are given, this area needs to be developed even further.
Fuel and office rental costs are rated highly and investors expectations as regards gas and industrial land costs are met amply. However,
further efforts are needed as regards broadband, transport, telephone and electricity costs.
