Spain's antitrust regulator has launched disciplinary proceedings against all six listed lenders in the country, including Santander and BBVA, over possible anti-competitive practices in the mortgage market. The case raises regulatory and legal overhangs for the banking sector, with potential implications for mortgage pricing and competition. While no penalties have been announced yet, the investigation is a negative headline risk for Spanish banks.
