In this way, it will reduce by 252 million euros the volume that represents unproductive assets in the balance sheet, decreasing them by 21% in the last year.

This Unicaja agreement with Axactor also envisages entrusting the administration and marketing to Acquired Property Management (GIA), the Unicaja company specialized in managing and selling real estate and is one of the largest Unicaja operations of this type, the second that this entity carries out with the Norwegian company.
