Search engine optimization (SEO) allows enhanced con- nection of corporate websites with their audiences through search engines, using certain keywords. This study describes a methodology to determine the most important Spanish companies offering SEO services to third parties, representing an exploratory study of applied cybermetrics for the construction of a universe of companies. One of the relevant re- sults of this work is the design of an information retrieval strategy based on a statistical analysis of search terms and the performance of geolocated searches in all the provincial capitals and Spanish cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants.

In particular, the second wave of COVID-19 is rampant to cause a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths globally. Methods: Using the Eureqa algorithm, we predicted the development trend of the second wave of COVID-19 in five European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK. We first built models to predict daily numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths based on the data of the first wave of COVID-19 in these countries.

    NPLs portfolios and REOs deals: an update at July 2021 LatAm & Iberia – NPLs Task Force (2T 2021) July 2021 LatAm & Iberia - NPLs TASK FORCE (2T 2021) Contents NPLs portfolios and REOs deals: an update at July 2021 3 Brazil 6 Chile 9 Colombia 12 Spain 15 Mexico 19 Peru 22 Portugal 26 2 LatAm & Iberia - NPLs TASK FORCE (2T 2021) NPLs portfolios and REOs deals: an update at July 2021 Transactions with non-performing loans (NPLs) started to take off in the second quarter of 2021, especially in Spain and Portugal. The gradual fading in continental Europe of the health impact of COVID 19, combined with the progress made in vaccinations, have allowed various “sleeping” transactions to be brought back into motion and new transactions to be closed between the first and second quarters of 2021. Meanwhile, in the global arena, there have now been numerous alerts from regulators over the deteriorating quality of financial institutions’ loan assets. The coming to an end of governmental relief or forbearance measures, combined with the heightened impact of COVID-19 on very specific business sectors, are likely to hasten the pace of NPL transactions over coming months. Resumption of competitive processes with NPL portfolios According to data published by the European Banking Authority, the aggregate stock of NPLs is in excess of €510.5 billion. Of this amount, 125.4 billion are held in France, making it the country with the highest NPL figure in the EU. Italy comes second, with NPLs totaling €98 billion and accounting for 5.4% of the aggregate stock of loans.
