Cash recoveries

Unlike missed payment recoveries, the amount of cash recovered fell drastically this month down to €977,354—a 58.3% decline.

In October, Spanish recoveries went against the grain and totaled €92,368—a 1.2% increase.

An unsustainable €33.26 average missed payment recovery in September fell back in line with previous months at €13.79.
