MADRID, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Spain’s gross domestic product has likely to contract by more than 10% this year as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions imposed on economic activity to curb it, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday. “We are now 10% poorer than a year ago,” he told a news conference. The government has previously forecast an 11.2% contraction for this year. He added that the government had decided to keep the country’s minimum wage at the same level in 2021 after a strong increase in the previous year. (Reporting by Inti Landauro)
