The rate of risk of poverty and social exclusion has fallen more in the Balearics than any other region of Spain, according to the report into the state of poverty and social exclusion from 2009 to 2014 by the European Network for the Fight Against Poverty. The rate was 23.8% in 2014, which is the lowest for five years and that corresponds to 262,619 people. The fall in the rate from 2013 was by four percentage points, the 27.8% of that year having been the highest it has been.
