European banks have been preparing for a new wave of bad loans due the COVID-19 crisis. In the first quarter of 2020, Europe's largest banks set aside more than EUR 21.5bn of provisions to cover losses from bad loans, up 207% from EUR 7bn in the same period in 2019, as they brace for a financial fallout due to the virus.
