Debts in the payment of loans in euro and Swiss francs went up more rapidly in January than in 2009, while the payment delays over 30 days advanced by 14.7% against December, at 3.26 billion lei, according to BNR.

Delays in loans in lei keep the first place, with a volume of 1.97 billion lei, with 147 million lei over the level at the end of last year. The number of non-payers did not advance significantly, as there are 1,041,649 clients with payment delays, with 28,279 more than in December, but the average sum of the new clients is substantially higher, somewhere at 14,800 lei/client. Under these conditions, the average debt went up from 2,804 lei/loan at 3,130 lei/loan. The majority of the debts are delays of over 90 days, with a total of 2.44 billion lei, against 2.19 billion lei in December.
