In 2025, the Banco de España published its analysis and research priorities 
(1 MB).
These priorities define the structure of the analysis and research agenda in the short and medium term, and are grouped into the following four topics.
Priority topics for 2025-30
- Pillars of central banking.
- European resilience in a changing world.
- Challenges for the Spanish economy.
- Global trends.
Different lines of work are envisaged for each of these areas of priority analysis. As befits a changing economic environment, these are reviewed as part of an annual monitoring and updating exercise.

Data, tools and analytical approaches
The thematic dimension of the 2025-30 analysis priorities is supplemented by the data, tools and analytical approaches to be used. The following are thus considered to be of the utmost importance:
- Modelling and communicating economic uncertainty.
- Granular data.
- Recent technological advances.
- Heterogeneity.
- Multidisciplinar approach.
