Know the Banco de España through its Institutional Report

06/05/2022

Surely you have ever wondered when the Bank of Spain was created, what services it provides to citizens or what is the destination of its annual benefits.

To these and other questions responds the Banco de España Institutional Report, whose publication corresponding to the financial year 2021 is available since last May 4 and is published every year since 2016.

The Institutional Report 2021 provides an overview of the Banco de España, its organisation and structure and the main actions carried out during the past financial year. Its purpose is to be accountable to society and to promote the transparency of its activity.

The report is divided into four chapters that explain what the Banco de España is and how it is organised (Chapter 1), what activities it carries out (Chapter 2), how it fulfils its institutional social responsibility (Chapter 3), and what its resources are and the financial result of its activity (Chapter 4).
