The Madrid City Council has unveiled a new web portal for the City's Economic Observatory, a platform centralizing data, reports, and interactive tools to analyze the capital's economic evolution.

The initiative, presented at Madrid In Game, located in Casa de Campo, aims to provide clearer and more organized access to municipal economic information. Its objective is to enhance transparency in a crucial area for investment, business activity, and urban analysis, aspiring to become a benchmark for those needing to understand Madrid's pulse with updated indicators and publicly accessible analytical documents.

"This open information allows for a deeper understanding of Madrid's economic reality and better comprehension of the factors explaining its evolution and prospects. Easy access to data builds trust and helps consolidate a favorable environment for investment and economic development."

One of the new portal's cornerstones is its data visualizer, an interactive tool that allows users to consult, cross-reference, and download economic information. Supported by regularly updated databases and Big Data technology, it enables any user to create their own graphs, tables, and customized reports, without solely relying on pre-prepared documents from the administration.
This resource is presented as a way to bring economic information closer to both technical profiles and citizens interested in their city's progress. The City Council is not just publishing documents but opening the door to more autonomous, flexible, and understandable data consultation. Furthermore, a future improvement to the portal is planned, including a monthly dashboard that will incorporate classic indicators and new real-time economic monitoring metrics.
