Microsoft founder Bill Gates, has bought a stake in Spanish construction company Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC).
The world’s richest man purchased 6% of the company for 113.5 million euros ($156 million) which saw its shares rise 8.3 percent yesterday.
Speaking
to Forbes, Madrid-based analyst Francisco Salvador backed Spain as a destination for investment.
"The
positive structural changes in Spain are far more evident than in other
countries such as Portugal or Greece.
If Spain were a company, it would
be a restructuring story similar to that of FCC, and investors usually
like those stories".
Although
FCC’s focus is not residential property, the face that one of the
richest and most high-profile investors on the planet is looking at
opportunities in Spain suggests the European and Global Market may be close to bottoming
out.
