Yes however it's more about the activity than the amount. – Augustine of Hippo Mar 12 '17 at 11:01

The bank statements serve several purposes.
- They want to see if you can pay for the trip.
- They want to see if you fit the profile of a genunie tourist or business traveller, i.e. if you appear at risk for overstaying and illegal immigration.
For the first point, $2,000 (approx €270/day) will be enough to cover cost of living for a week in Spain. Spain requires visitors to have a minimum of EUR 598 for a one week visit. For longer visits the required minimum is EUR 62 per day. We don't know what the travel expenses will be, but it is likely enough as well. But that is only half of the answer.
For the second point, they want to see a regular pattern of income and expenditures, with income exceeding expenditures. This is more important than the balance at the end of the month. Here is a great answer to a similar question regarding the UK, but the same principle applies to Schengen visa.

@GayotFow, the OP asked if $2,000 in a bank account are enough for a week. I answered that it is not just the amount that matters. I'll clarify a bit more. – o.m. Mar 12 '17 at 09:19
