CIENxCIEN Podcast

CIENxCIEN (one hundred percent) is a podcast on the latest economic, technological and social developments, brought to you by people working at the Banco de España. We want to throw open our doors and tell you about what we do, how we do it and the impact it has on your day-to-day life.

These down-to-earth yet rigorous podcasts will blend the simplicity of conversations between colleagues with the professionalism of our work in different areas, placing all our expertise at your disposal.

Pride in our workplace

02/07/2025 Javier Almarcha , David Márquez , Patricia Martínez , David Suárez

We spend a large part of our day-to-day life at work and, while it’s a professional setting, we inevitably share a lot about our personal lives. But do we have the freedom to do so without feeling judged or discriminated against because of our sexual orientation or gender identity? We may all be equal under the law, but as a society we’ve still got a lot of learning and understanding to do. So, pull up a chair: diversity affects us all, whether you’re a member of the LGBTI community or not.

What’s the cost of not being sustainable?

01/04/2025

Soledad Núñez

Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow? That is what living sustainably is about: concerning ourselves not only with our own needs today but also with the needs of future generations. If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.

Financial stability, a check-over for the banking sector Series: Economy, Regulation and Supervision

Alejandro Ferrer , Irene Roibas

Driving safely means having a reliable and well-maintained car. But the roads need to be good and conditions favourable as well. It’s the same with the banking sector. If a bank is to act as an intermediary (channelling funds from savers to investors) it has to be solvent. But that isn’t enough: is the road – the economy – in good condition? Is there enough financial stability to move forward? Grab your headphones and click to find out!

The Banco de España analyses the vulnerabilities and risks that could affect the Spanish financial system

Daniel Pérez Cid (Director General, Financial Stability, Regulation and Resolution) , Galo Nuño (Associate Director General, Financial Stability, Regulation and Resolution) , Carlos Pérez Montes

The financial position of Spanish households, non-financial corporations and banks has fared favourably, while that of general government is more vulnerable.
