La banca gana la partida de la Autoridad del Cliente Financiero

El Pais Economia reports that the second failure in the implementation of the Autoridad del Cliente Financiero (Customer Financial Defense Authority) highlights some of the issues that have plagued the government of Pedro Sánchez in recent years. Despite the proposal appearing positive as it aimed to provide consumers with more defense against banks, concerns arose regarding the sector's demands for normative simplification and supervision.
