I Banco de España Conference on the Spanish Economy

The Banco de España is launching the first of a series of academic conferences on the Spanish economy, to be held on 7 and 8 July 2022 at the Banco de España’s headquarters in Madrid.

This new conference series aims at bringing together top researchers to present their recent work on topics that are of critical importance for the Spanish economy, as well as distinguished policy-makers to discuss their views on these topics.

This first conference will include academic sessions on the labour market, on the link between productivity and finance, on inflation, and on energy and climate change. It will also feature an opening speech by Pablo Hernández de Cos, Governor of the Banco de España, and a closing panel discussion on “Public finances: fiscal reform and sustainability”.

Please note that attendance is by invitation only.
