The economic impact of Mercadona in the Basque Country

Mercadona is a leading company in Spain, so its impacts are distributed throughout Spain, with an intensity that is proportional to its activity at a regional level. The origin of Mercadona’s economic impact in a specific region lies both in the expenditure of the stores in that region (wages and salaries, operating costs, purchases made to its suppliers in the region, etc.), and in the expenditure made by Mercadona stores located outside the region (and services centered on them) in favor of suppliers in each of the regions.

The objective of the report is to estimate the total economic impact of Mercadona in the Basque Country in terms of output, value added and employment.
