Spain March bad loans ratio drops to 6.11 pct

Source: Reuters - Thu 19th May 2011
Spain's bad loans ratio fell slightly in March from February, after six months of rises, due to a slight uptick in overall lending volumes, the Bank of Spain said on Wednesday.

The level of bad loans as a ratio of total lending by Spain's financial sector - including banks, financial cooperatives and retail credit cards - dropped to 6.11% in March from 6.20% reached in February, the highest level since Sept. 1995.

The level of unpaid debts has been rising steadily in Spain since the beginning of the global financial crisis, which burst a decade-long property bubble and has left over 5 million jobless.

Bad debts fell by 1.069 billion euros to 111.511 billion euros in March, the central bank said.
