The President of the Real Academia de Ciencias Económicas y Financieras (RACEF) Jaime Gil Aluja; its Vice-President Lorenzo Gascón and sculptor Artur Aldomà, this afternoon in Barcelona presented the future Francisco Cabarrús prize which will be awarded annually by the RACEF to the economist, businessman or most outstanding actor in Spanish economy and finances. The prize is represented by means of a small statue, designed by Aldomà, of the figure of the founder, in 1782 of the Banco de San Carlos, the first Spanish national bank and the forerunner of the Banco de España. The work is inspired by the portrait that Francisco de Goya painted of Francisco Cabarrús, which is hanging in the headquarters of the Banco de España in Madrid.
