Spain's bad loans increased further in March, the Bank of Spain said Friday.
About 8.37 percent of loans held by banks in March were unpaid for more than three months. That compares to 8.3 percent in February. This was the highest bad debt ratio since 1994.
Data came a day after Moody's Investors Service downgraded 16 Spanish banks, citing rising loan defaults and restricted funding access.
