In addition, the bank is committed to maintaining, for 18 months, the working capital lines for all SMEs, and the current total credit volume for those that work exclusively with the two banks². These remedies largely mitigate the risks identified by the CNMC, which are mostly focused on certain territories. The bank will continue to collaborate closely with the authority to finalize the remedies agreement and the authorization of the transaction as soon as possible.
