"The need is based on the implementation of the Security and Defence Industry and Technology Plan to meet international commitments in the field of security and defence investment, ratified at the NATO summit in The Hague on 25 June , "added Pedro Sánchez's Government.

The Spanish Government has not specifiedthe amount of the loans and has authorised the urgent granting of loans not only to Indra and Airbus, but also to other companies, but has not reported any other names.
