El Banco detrás de las cámaras Series: Inside the Bank
Este episodio de CIENxCIEN es diferente y, sin embargo, contiene toda su esencia, porque celebra la apertura de nuestras puertas en la Semana de la Administración Abierta. En nuestro primer episodio con público hablamos de transparencia y comunicación, de prospectiva y análisis, de nuestra red de sucursales y de educación financiera, una de nuestras grandes apuestas. También sentamos juntos dos formas del euro que no están tan reñidas como parece: el efectivo y el futuro euro digital.

Women don't ask (and don't get) and other gender biases at work Series: Women in Economy
Would your work be valued the same if you were a woman instead of a man? What about the other way round? Are parts of your career shaped less by talent and more by gender? In this episode of CIENxCIEN, the Banco de España lifts the lid on the invisible prejudices at work, exploring how gender biases still drive opportunities, risks and appraisals. We need to change the score, not the orchestra, if we want to make the music sing.

So how do we cut through them? Welcome to the Library, a place where every resource is chosen with care and packaged with a sprinkle of critical thinking. Just what we need to get our bearings.

Economic forecasting in stormy weather Series: Economy
They say a butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can cause a hurricane in another, and everyone (people and countries alike) wants to be ready when this happens to the economy, so we’re not caught unawares. In this episode of CIENxCIEN, Ana Comellas invites Enrique Moral and Iván Kataryniuk to explain how macroeconomic projections enable us to anticipate the main economic variables, how accurate these forecasts are and how relevant they are in such a changing environment as the present one.
