This rate is the second best in the European Union (EU), with only 4.43% for Romanian banks. Spanish firms averaged 1.83% above the euro area and 1.87% above the 27th.

After improving lightning speed in the first three months of 2021, the Spanish bank fell four consecutive negative quarters. This rate means a return to the pre-pandemic level starting in March 2019. The data underscores the strong growth of three major institutions, Santander, BBVA and Kyxbank, which accounted for the first two losses in 2020. The central bank argues that the European Union will withdraw the dividend veto from October.
