Colegio De Economistas De Madrid

What Colegio De Economistas De Madrid does

Colegio de Economistas de Madrid is a non-profit professional association (colegio profesional) governed by Spanish Ley 2/1976, founded in 1976 to regulate, represent, and serve economists in the Madrid territorial scope. It is one of the legally recognised colegios profesionales for economists in Spain and acts as the institutional voice for its members in regulatory, public-policy, and professional-ethics matters. Beyond Madrid HQ, the institution operates 7 territorial sections that extend representation across additional Spanish provinces and contribute to a national network of more than 50,000 economists.

The core service set spans membership administration, continuing-education training (with tiered course pricing of €140 for members and €200 for non-members), regulated professional services via the 'turno de oficio' (official professional rotation system), publications, and member-benefit partnerships. Operational alliances with UAM, UNED, UICM, UANATACA, AON, and Globalfinanz extend the catalogue into academic, digital-certification, insurance, and financial-services distribution. More recently, the Colegio has formalized a programmatic focus on artificial intelligence applied to economics through a dedicated observatory, signalling intent to incorporate emerging-technology themes into member programming.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across membership dues, training fees, regulated professional service fees, publications, and partnership-linked member benefits. Pricing is transaction- or subscription-based rather than enterprise-anchored, and the institution does not pursue external funding rounds given its regulated non-profit status. Leadership is currently headed by Decana-Presidenta Amelia Pérez Zabaleta, who succeeded Pascual Fernández Martínez.

Others

Broad incumbents

• Colegio de Abogados de Madrid (ICAM): Madrid's bar association for lawyers, operating under the same Spanish professional college framework. Closely analogous in statutory authority, membership model, and service portfolio (legal advisory, job board, training, certificates) but serves a different profession.
• Consejo General de Economistas de España: National federation to which CEMAD belongs, coordinating all regional economist colleges in Spain. Acts as the overarching body for the Marca Economistas brand and national register, with broader scope than CEMAD's regional focus.
