My past experience in banking taught me that when borrowing was in default by at least three months it was declared a "bad & doubtful" debt, and duly accounted for. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there are many developers in Spain whose loans and borrowings have been in default for over two years but have yet to be declared as "bad & doubtful". I do hope that the IMF does not have the wool pulled over its eyes and that it is able to get a true picture of Spain's banking affairs!!!
