- Tracks the economic situation in Spain, Portugal and internationally by means of in-depth analysis of the structural trends and specific and systemic risks.
- Provides macroeconomic and financial forecasts for different timeframes and analyses both individual countries (developed and emerging) and also aspects across different countries, paying particular attention to Spain and its role within the euro area economy.
- Enhances the sector's knowledge regarding Spain's economy by using big data provided by the corporate database.
- Analyses the trends and outlook of the major international financial markets; identifies determining factors, particularly those related to the macroeconomic environment and banking; produces forecasts on a wide range of financial variables and examines risks, particularly to financial stability.
