IBERIAN PROPERTY INVESTMENT AWARDS 2024 – MADRID, 25 JUNE
Prime Yield’s team was very proud to see our report “Investing in NPL in Iberia 2023″ among the three finalists for “Research Report of the Year” at the Iberian Property Investment Awards 2024. We were present at the awards ceremony on 25 June in Madrid and we are very pleased to congratulate the winner of this edition, with the certainty that we will compete again for these prestigious awards!
The 2024 edition of our research is already underway. The initial data collection is being carried out and, at this moment, we can already see a trend reversal in Europe: in aggregate terms, the NPL stock has been increasing since the end of last year, contrary to the decline of recent years. Spain confirms the European trend, but Portugal continues on its course with an unchanged stock. Will the rest of the year confirm these developments?
We’ll give you the answer in November with the new edition of Investing in NPL in Iberia, where we’ll also present estimates for the transaction of this type of portfolio.
Stay tuned.
