Storm damage leads to €124 million in loan moratoriums

📍 Arganil💶 Finance⚖️ Legal#severe-weather+3 more

Severe weather earlier this year has led to 616 loans being placed under moratorium at Crédito Agrícola, totaling €124 million in debt relief for affected customers. The damage was particularly heavy in the central region, with the municipality of Arganil alone reporting €1 million in losses to local roads and infrastructure. Local authorities are still working to restore access to areas like Piódão, where landslides have interrupted traffic. Residents in the central interior should be aware of ongoing road repairs and check with their financial institutions if they require assistance due to weather-related property damage.
