I work at the DG Budget. Nowadays they are trying to improve some issues that are still pending in the budget reform of 2006 (efficiency improvement) and my tasks are related to this. My main task is to conduct research related to policy evaluation. The challenge is to propose a model which captures the viability of policies with economic impact in order to add efficiency in the budget elaboration. I also contribute and support the daily tasks of the DG Budget and attend seminars related with all these activities.

During my time here, Banc Sabadell has also sent me to training courses for the major stock market analysis software out there (Reuters, Bloomberg, Factset), which will be very useful as my career progresses."
