Title

Is there a reason we prefer this title to "Bank of Spain"? I've made that at least redirect here. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:25, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

"no natos"

Latest comment: 18 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I've written "The two Counsellors who serve as members of the Executive Commission are designated by the Governing Council, after nomination by the Governor, from among their own members." The Spanish-language article uses the expression "de entre sus miembros no natos." I do not know what this means. The Spanish-language article is a bit florid in it language throughout. Anyway, can anyone clarify? -- Jmabel | Talk 00:21, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

Some members of the Governing Council may be so just because of their position; for example the Vice President of the National Securities Market Commission is always automatically a member of the Council. Those are the "nato" members. --RiseRover 17:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ah. So nato here would be ex officio. I don't think we have a term for the opposite of that in English. - Jmabel | Talk 21:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Should there not be a mention of the Bank having administered the peseta, prior to the adoption of the euro? - Jmabel | Talk 21:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Secretario de Estado de Economía

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm a Spaniard, and I think I can help with the meaning of this office. "Secretario de Estado" is like a second-level office in a Spanish Ministry, so the Minister of Research and Development can have two Secretarios de Estado, one for Universities and another for R+D policies. Could it be translated as "Viceminister for Economy"? In USA, Secretary of State is more like a Minister of Foreign Affairs in Spain, so I think the current translation is a bit misleading for an American reader.--195.57.146.182 (talk) 11:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
