The share of bank debts bought by collectors fell to a minimum in two years
The share of closed transactions on the sale of bank overdue debts to collectors in the III quarter of 2026 was the lowest over the past two years - 63%, follows from the data of the PCB. But the decrease in the share of closed transactions turned out to be “artificial”, said Pavel Mikhmel, managing director of PKB: at the very end of the quarter, a lot from the bank was put up for sale, an auction for which at the time of the formation of the analytics has not yet taken place. Without this portfolio, the share of closed transactions would be at the level of 82%, which corresponds to the annual average and even 2 percentage points higher than in the second quarter, he points out.
