Abstract

In the Basque Country, the economic studies carried out to date by Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness in collaboration with the Vice-Ministry of Culture of the Basque Government, have revealed a wide variation in the trajectories of the different sectors that make up the CCIs. This highlights the need to develop tailored strategies and policies to maximise their cultural,
social, and economic impact.

In this context, we present a detailed analysis of three strategic sectors within the CCIs in the Basque Country: Books and Press, Music and Audiovisual and Multimedia. The selection of these 
sectors responds to specific criteria, prioritising those that have undergone significant evolution, both positive and negative, and which require a deeper understanding for the formulation of public policies adapted to their specific needs. To this end, both a quantitative and qualitative approach has been used to provide a comprehensive view of the current situation in these sectors.
