Additionally, Germany finished as the country which spent the lowest amount of money on infrastructure.

To begin with Spain and Germany, originally, they paid 60 and 30 million respectively, after which the figure for Spain fell steadily to 50 million in 1988 as the data for Germany levelled out during the first two years, then it increased to reach around 44 million in 1988. In the last four-year period from 1988 to 1992, Spain’s spending decreased then increased to reach 60 million in the final year of the period. Meanwhile Germany’s spending experienced the opposite trend, increasing and then decreasing to 40 million at 1992.

As for the UK and France, the former started at around 55 million then it increased consistently to hit approximately 72 million in 1990 before reaching 80 million by the end of the period, while for the latter it began as the lowest spending country. However, it grew significantly throughout the period, spending the highest amount as the UK.
