The Bank of Spain says in its latest Report on Financial Stability, the situation will remain so for some time.
The agency notes that the private sector credit continues to exhibit negative annual percentage changes, which, although less intense in recent months than in previous periods, “not expect a significant recovery of this variable in the coming months.”

The bank does not expect the recovery due to the weakness of the real economy, difficulties in financial markets and the natural reduction of the debt of companies and families after an increase in the years of economic expansion.

The Bank of Spain has released data today from loans by financial institutions. The result: credit continues to decline, that is, banks lend less money to families and businesses.
