en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA, Autoridad Portuaria de la Bahía de Algeciras), in collaboration with the University of Cádiz (UCA, Universidad de Cádiz), has launched a new study on the economic impact of port activities in Algeciras and Tarifa, aiming to quantify their contribution to employment, business activity, and the economy.

This study will build on previous research and incorporate an initiative coordinated by the Spanish State Port Authority (OPPE, Organismo Público Puertos del Estado), which seeks to quantify the actual impact of the port system at both regional and national levels. The research has now entered the data collection phase, involving companies and institutions operating in the port environment. Their participation is essential to obtain a complete, rigorous, and reliable picture of the economic impact generated by port activities and their business ecosystem, with data drawn from variables such as employment, personnel expenditure, revenue, investment, procurement, and taxation, as well as the degree of linkage between business activities and the port.

The study follows a methodology aligned with the guidelines of the State Port Authority, based on an input-output model adapted to the characteristics of the Andalusian port system. This methodological framework facilitates the analysis of port activities, their structural dependencies, and the overall scope of related operations. Through indicators such as gross value added, output, and employment, this approach enables precise estimation of the direct, indirect, and induced effects of port activities, thereby providing a comprehensive view of the contribution of the ports of Algeciras and Tarifa to economic development. Additionally, the methodology allows for the analysis of trends in economic impact over time, enhancing transparency and strategic planning capabilities in the medium and long term.
