Central Balance Sheet Data Office

Cooperation with registries in Spain

Since 1991, under the cooperation agreements signed with the Ministry of Justice and the Spanish Association of Property and Mercantile Registrars, the Banco de España's Central Balance Sheet Data Office and the Mercantile Registries have been working together to facilitate the statistical use of the annual accounts that companies are legally required to file with the mercantile registry of the province in which their registered office is located.

The results of this cooperation include:

1. The aggregate figures of the database set up with the annual accounts filed with the Mercantile Registries are published in a specific annex to the annual publication of the Central Balance Sheet Data Office.
   • Base de datos de cuentas anuales depositadas en los registros mercantiles  (263 KB)
2. The Sector Ratios of Non-financial Corporations database (RSE), which is available free of charge on the internet and which provides information on economic and financial ratios, useful for making comparative analyses of individual corporations with the aggregate results of non-financial corporations. This enables the corporation to be positioned according to its activity sector and size.
