BRASILIA/SAO PAULO: Brazilian loan defaults rose in March for the first time in seven months, the central bank said on Wednesday, a sign of caution as borrowers in Latin America's largest economy still struggle with the impact of a three-year recession.
Loans in arrears for 90 days or more, a benchmark for delinquencies, rose to the equivalent of 5.7 percent of outstanding credit last month, from 5.6 percent in February, the central bank said in a report.
