The banking system has maintained outstanding capital and liquidity levels, which up to now have allowed it to face the adverse effects associated with the pandemic.
Credit to the private sector slowed down due to lower demand. The business and consumer portfolios contracted, while the housing portfolio reduced its dynamism. Financing to the public sector accelerated significantly.
