The international position of Spanish companies: on the rise

The Elcano Royal Institute is a think-tank for international and strategic studies that analyses world events and trends from a Spanish, European and global perspective.

The Analyses of the Elcano Royal Institute (ARI)are short pieces - of around 3,000 words - on aspects of current international affairs considered to be of relevance to Spain, its foreign policy or its security. In broad terms ARIs are intended to have a predictive bearing on events.Spain’s internationalisation, as measured by exports and direct investment abroad, has been remarkable and it happened in a relatively short period. The stock market has played a key role in this process.
