European auto loan and lease credit performance moved in opposite directions this month, with annualised losses in our EUR47 billion auto loan ABS index falling 13 basis points (bps) month-over-month (MoM) and 16 bps year-over-year (YoY) to 0.38%, while losses in our EUR33 billion auto lease ABS index climbed to 0.62%, up 15 bps MoM and 45 bps YoY. Notably, auto lease index losses are now at their highest level since April 2017.
