The Regional Minister for Economy, Finance and Employment, Rocío Albert, stated that these results “are not coincidental,” but the result of a model based on economic freedom, legal certainty, institutional stability, the reduction of bureaucratic obstacles, and competitive taxation, with 34 tax cuts since Díaz Ayuso assumed the Presidency in 2019.
At the opening of the Madrid, Global Capital event, organized today by the Official College of Architects of Madrid (COAM), the keys to the region’s territorial, industrial, and technological leadership were analyzed. Albert emphasized that Madrid contributes 20% of the national GDP, with 3.85 million people employed—a historic figure—and an unemployment rate of just 7%. He also noted that the region hosts 85% of all data centers in Spain, with investments from global companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon in Artificial Intelligence infrastructure.
