“Keep an Eye on the NPL & REO Markets” – 2026 Edition
The southern European markets monitored by Prime Yield saw a realignment in their performance in terms of non-performing loans (NPL), states the 2026 edition of the annual research “Keep an Eye on the NPL & Reo Markets”. Portugal, Spain and Greece all saw reductions in their bad debt stock, both quarterly and year-on-year, which bucks the European trend where NPL volumes rose again in Q3 2025. NPL ratio also improved in all three countries. However, these markets have different transaction dynamics. Spain and Portugal lost sales momentum compared to 2024, reflecting higher maturity and low levels of activity in the primary market. Conversely, Greece is expected to have seen an acceleration in transactions in 2025 with the completion of two of the largest operations under the state securitization program, HAPS. In LatAm, the picture is different. Default levels in Brazil soared in 2025, affecting both the financial system and consumer credit. NPL portfolio sales increased due to the higher volume of defaulted loans and a growing diversity of sellers, even under the new legislative framework of banking provisioning rules.
This annual research provides an insight on the NPL trading markets in Brazil, Greece, Portugal, and Spain, also analyzing the main KPIs of sector.

“Keep an Eye on the NPL & REO Markets” – 2025 Edition
The 2025 edition of ‘Keep an Eye on the NPL&REO Markets’ shows that the European markets covered by Prime Yield performed differently in 2024, both in terms of NPL transactions and the evolution of the defaulted credit stock in their financial system. On the one hand, Portugal and Spain, where the stock of NPL fell and the sales of distressed debt portfolios exhibited improved dynamics in 2024, fueled by secondary market activity and corporate transactions. Greece, on the other hand, saw its stock of NPL increase for the first time in years, but recorded a slowdown in the sale of this type of portfolio. In Latin America, Brazil also increased the volume of NPL, although this didn’t translate into a rise in activity either.
