About Us

DescriptionMission and vision

Funcas is a think tank – a center for analysis - dedicated to economic and social research and its dissemination, promoting interaction between the academic sphere and the real economy. It is part of the Social Work of CECA.

Thanks to the encouragement of Professor Enrique Fuentes Quintana and with the aim of analyzing and helping to articulate Spanish economic policy, Funcas has become a benchmark in the field of economic forecasting and policy analysis, which has expanded to include the European Union. Currently, the Foundation is also very active in the field of finance – financial regulation and digitalization, financial markets, … – and in a variety of social issues, to which an ambitious financial education program has recently been added.

Mission

Funcas is a private and non-profit institution, created and maintained by CECA for the performance of activities for the benefit of Spanish society. In particular, the objective of the Foundation is the promotion of economic, financial and social studies and research, the celebration of public events, cultural dissemination in its broadest sense and everything that allows for a more precise knowledge of the Spanish economy and society so that useful recommendations for economic and social policy can be made.

Funcas promotes a better informed, fairer and more efficient society, spreading its knowledge and offering alternatives that will benefit society in general.
