The Bank of Spain has convened three listening sessions with more than 30 academics and economics experts to refresh its analytical and research priorities for the next five years. The first session has already taken place, with Governor José Luis Escrivá and Deputy Governor Soledad Núñez participating. This is the second time the Bank of Spain has used this format to shape research priorities, which it updates periodically based on issues that could affect the economic welfare of Spanish society across different time horizons. Contributions will come from experts drawn from universities, research centres, and public and private institutions. The remaining sessions are scheduled to take place during February, and the Bank of Spain expects to publish its updated analytical and research priorities in the spring.
