Presentation of the magazine Papeles de Economía Española: “Finance After the Pandemic”

The issue of Papeles de Economía Española presented today aims to provide a first approach to the main changes that the banking sector and, more broadly, the financial system, have undergone due to the pandemic and the new horizon that opens as the worst effects and restrictions derived from it fall behind. In this analysis, the Spanish financial sector receives special attention. The perspective is both on the supply and demand sides, covering numerous institutional aspects, regulation, and monetary policy.
