In 2020, the Portuguese banking system held the third-largest stock of loans and advances under moratoria, at €41.5 billion, according to data from the European Banking Authority. Italy and Spain ranked first and second, with a stock of 115.6 billion and 57.9 billion, respectively.
With more than 20% of total loans under moratoria, Portuguese banks are among the most reliant on pandemic support measures in Europe. Most of these loans include exposures to small and medium-sized businesses that ended in the third quarter of 2021.
