Spain's Competition Regulator CNMC Creates Chief Economist Post and Economic Intelligence Unit
Spain's government published Royal Decree 825/2026 in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on October 15, amending the Organic Statute of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) to create a Chief Economist post at the regulator.
Under the new statute, the Chief Economist is appointed by the CNMC plenary, reports to the President, advises on competition, regulation and supervision cases, and heads a new Economic Intelligence Subdirectorate dedicated to data analysis and analytical tools.
The CNMC is Spain's independent authority for safeguarding market competition and regulating network industries, with remit over telecommunications, energy, transport and audiovisual media. The decree takes effect on October 16.
