The chief executive officer of the Prensa Ibérica group underscored the Valencian economy’s potential and the publishing company’s capability to cover economic matters from every corner of Spain during the opening ceremony for the assets supplement in 2012. The event took place on a Thursday at the Palau Alameda in València. He emphasized that the Valencian economy demonstrates a dynamic business fabric and bright prospects for the future. The executive highlighted the important role that the extra economic assets have played for the group, describing them as a foundational element of the company’s broader economic knowledge.
The weekly supplement focuses on economics, business, finance, and investing and maintains a website that aggregates the most important economic information produced daily. The executive described the supplement as an effort to deliver readers the best possible coverage of proprietary information. He noted that today it is the economy section with the widest circulation and reach in Spain, pointing out that the print edition of the assets is distributed across seven group newspapers, including Informacíón, with an approximate distribution of 70,000 copies. The digital edition covers more than 20 general information topics across the country.
Valencian Economy and Companies
The assets supplement is now available in Seville, Badajoz, and Girona. The executive observed that Valencia stands out as a country with a strong economy and a dynamic business fabric, featuring projects that mirror current realities and future challenges. He noted that the Valencian economy has leveraged the past fifteen years since the 2008 crisis to move away from a bricks-and-mortar model and shift its productive focus toward innovation, electromobility, new technologies, and renewable energy sources.
This modernization of the Valencian Community began a new era while traditional sectors remained central, with the agri-food sector continuing to be a major pillar of the regional economy. The executive highlighted that this sector acts as a growth driver, boosted by the substantial potential of citrus growers and their influence on the sector’s development.
Industry milestones in the region, such as Volkswagen’s plan to locate an electric vehicle battery factory in Sagunto and Ford’s commitment to producing electric vehicles from 2027 in Almussafes, provide stability and future prospects for the area. The green economy represents another key frontier, with investments in renewable energy serving as a common denominator for leading firms. The Port of Valencia, along with renowned Castellón tile manufacturers like Pamesa and Porcelanosa, and shipping firms such as the Alicante-based Balearia, are cited as examples of entities investing in lower-emission energy sources.
The Role of Entities
The assets concept was created to report comprehensively on these developments and to address needs and demands in the Valencian Community and the broader Mediterranean Corridor, including water transfers and the review of regional financing systems. The realization is that being well informed today requires continuous monitoring of the global economic landscape. Access to this extensive information base supports knowledge and decision-making, empowering readers with influence. Assets advocates for journalism that is accurate, expert, informative, and responsible in its service to the audience.
This initiative aims to provide a sustained stream of coverage that helps local businesses and residents understand evolving economic conditions. It reflects a commitment to transparency, rigorous analysis, and practical insights for decision-makers across sectors. The expanded coverage ensures that key developments in Valencia, along with related markets, are captured with timeliness and depth, enabling readers to anticipate shifts and opportunities across the regional economy. The publication strategy emphasizes credibility, data-driven reporting, and thoughtful interpretation to guide strategic choices in a changing environment.
