Plans for €135m NPL Sale by Housing Finance Organisation

The Housing Finance Organisation (HFO) plans to sell a portfolio of non-performing loans (NPLs) worth approximately €135 million. This sale is part of the HFO's strategy to reduce NPLs and strengthen its financial stability. The portfolio for sale includes loans linked to properties worth over €250,000, as well as loans with arrears of more than eight years. The sales process will begin with a tender announcement through the contracting process, is expected to be completed within 2026 or early 2027, and the final sale is scheduled for late 2027 or early 2028. The HFO has made significant progress in reducing NPLs in recent years, with the help of government support schemes and the implementation of new management policies. Solutions have been provided for troubled loans totaling approximately €50 million in the last 26 months. In addition, the HFO is proceeding with its technological upgrade and independence of its systems from KEDIPES, as well as the development of electronic banking services and the introduction of new service channels.
