Keywords:
Most of the profitability gains for BBVA bank in 2014 came from having less bad debt, and for Santander from lower bad debt charges. Loan balances for BBVA and Santander fell by 2% in 2014. Bad debts still make up 6 to 7% of total loans for the banks, suggesting further such gains for Spanish banks. The ECB's monetary easing action should slow defaults on loans in Spain even further.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
