Joining the employers’ association, CEIM

On November 13, INBONIS Rating officially joined CEIM, the Madrid business association. At a meeting held at our offices, CEIM President Miguel Garrido and our CEO Alberto Sánchez Navalpotro explored new avenues of collaboration to boost the competitiveness of Madrid-based companies. CEIM showed particular interest in promoting the use of ratings in public procurement and business support programs.

This incorporation coincides with the progress made in our collaboration with the Community of Madrid, with whom we have drawn up the first INBONIS List of Madrid-based mid-caps with investment grade ratings, which identifies the companies with the greatest financial strength and driving force. The list was presented on October 7 at an event organized jointly with the Madrid Chamber of Commerce and CEIM, with more than 100 attendees, 200 streaming connections, and extensive media coverage, including the front page of Expansión.

This model of public-private collaboration—based on technical rigor, transparency, and market intelligence—is proving its usefulness in improving access to financing, strengthening investor confidence, and facilitating more efficient public decisions, all of which are key elements for the growth of the Spanish mid-market. Both the legal opinion and our public procurement project support the role of ratings as an objective and non-discriminatory tool that simplifies creditworthiness assessment and increases the participation of SMEs and mid-caps in public procurement.

Our goal is to continue supporting institutions and business organizations that work to strengthen the productive fabric. We aspire to collaborate with CEIM, the Community of Madrid, and other regions on initiatives that promote business growth through structured data, credit ratings, and tools that improve the efficiency of the public and private sectors.
