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][3] 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.[4] In April 2007 the Recoletos group was totally acquired by the RCS media group.[5][6]

Actualidad Económica is published on a monthly basis by the Unidad Editorial Sociedad de Revistas,[7][8] a subsidiary of the RCS media group.[9] The frequency of the magazine switched from weekly to monthly in February 2010.[10] The magazine is headquartered in Madrid.[8]

Miguel Ángel Belloso is the editor of Actualidad Económica which provides news about economics and business.[7][11] The magazine publishes several rankings, including the annual ranking of best companies to work in Spain[12] and has several special editions such as Who is who, Who is who in Andalucia, 5000 companies and Business Yearbook.[10] 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 the others.[9] In addition, it has also monthly supplements.[8]

The US Department of State described Actualidad Económica as a conservative magazine in 2000.[13]
