Real Academia de Ciencias Económicas y Financieras is a Spanish learned society dedicated to the study and dissemination of knowledge in finance and related fields. Founded at the turn of the 20th century, the Academy has interacted with institutions across Europe and the Americas, collaborating with universities, central banks, and cultural organizations. Its membership and publications link historical figures, contemporary scholars, and policymakers across Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and other cities.
The Academy was established in 1900 with patronage from Spanish monarchs and connections to Casa de Borbón, Alfonso XIII, Antonio Maura, Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, Francisco Silvela, and other Restoration-era statesmen. Early activities involved exchanges with the Banco de España, Universidad Central de Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Real Academia Española, and the Instituto de España. During the Second Republic the institution engaged with figures such as Niceto Alcalá-Zamora and Manuel Azaña, and during the postwar period it maintained contacts with Francisco Franco's economic ministries and the Ministerio de Hacienda. In the late 20th century the Academy collaborated with the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, the Fondo Monetario Internacional, Banco Mundial, and the Unión Europea on comparative studies. It has historically hosted lectures by scholars linked to Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidad de Barcelona, Universidad de Salamanca, and international centers such as London School of Economics, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
The Academy's mission emphasizes rigorous analysis of fiscal, monetary, and financial topics, and promotion of scholarship through seminars and publications. It aims to influence policy discussions involving institutions like the Banco de España, Banco Central Europeo, Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, Ministerio de Economía y Hacienda, and supranational bodies including the Comisión Europea, Consejo Europeo, Fondo Monetario Internacional, and the Banco Mundial.

Membership has included diplomats from Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, jurists linked to the Tribunal Constitucional, central bankers associated with European Central Bank, legislators from the Congreso de los Diputados and the Senado, and executives from corporations listed on Bolsa de Madrid and affiliated with Confederación Española de Organizaciones Empresariales.
