Unicaja Banco has published the report Análisis Econónomico-Financiero de la Empresa Andaluza 2019 (Economic and Financial Analysis of Andalusian Companies), prepared by Analistas Económicos de Andalucía (Grupo Unicaja Banco’s research company).

 

The preparation and publication of this report falls within Unicaja Banco’s policy to support the business sector and to foster entrepreneurship in Andalusia.

 

The report is based on a detailed analysis of the annual accounts presented by over 90,000 companies at the trade registers of Andalusia, corresponding to the financial year 2017 –latest year with information available for all the companies which compose the sample-. This edition includes an advance of the results of Andalusian companies in 2018.

 

Together with the publication of the report, the website (cba.analistaseconomicos.com) has been updated for consultation of the mentioned work and it contains the economic and financial information on which the analysis is based.

 

The report is structured as follows: after a first introductory section and the synthesis of the main results, a review is made of the economic context in which Andalusian companies have carried out their activities. It focuses then on their demographic features (nature of the business activity, size and geographical location) and their evolution in recent years.

 

In a second block, the report analyses the companies which, because of their economic and financial behavior, are regarded as ‘Business References’, under three criteria: capacity to generate resources (leaders), capacity to increase sales (gazelles) and capacity to obtain a high profitability (high profitability). After this, attention is paid to the economic and financial evolution of regional companies during the period 2015-2017, although the core of the examined information is the last year.

 

The economic and financial analysis ends with an advance of the results for the year 2018. Finally,  the ‘Economic and Financial Reports’ of the main aggregated and a ‘Dictionary of economic and financial terms’ are included as an annexes, to make it easier to understand and construe the document.
