Actualidad Económica (Spanish: Economic Actuality) is a monthly business magazine published in Madrid, Spain. It has been in circulation since 1958.

History and profile

Actualidad Económica was established in 1958, becoming the first business magazine in Spain.[1] The Recoletos group bought the magazine in 1977.[2] Later the British multinational Pearson Overseas Holdings Ltd. began to acquire the shares of the company.[2] In the late 1990s Pearson had a share of 39% in the company.[3] In April 2007 the Recoletos group was totally acquired by the RCS media group.[4][5]

Actualidad Económica is published on a monthly basis by the Unidad Editorial Sociedad de Revistas,[6][7] a subsidiary of the RCS media group.[8] The frequency of the magazine switched from weekly to monthly in February 2010.[9] The magazine is headquartered in Madrid.[7]

As of 2015 Miguel Ángel Belloso was the editor of Actualidad Económica which provides news about economics and business.[6][10] The magazine publishes several rankings, including the annual ranking of best companies to work in Spain[11] and has several special editions such as Who is who, Who is who in Andalucia, 5000 companies and Business Yearbook.[9] It offers various awards, including that for the best 100 ideas of the year in the fields of energy, technology, advertising, health-care, environment and fashion, among others.[8] In addition, it has monthly supplements.[7]

The US Department of State described Actualidad Económica as a conservative magazine in 2000.[12]
