500,000 families had to be protected from the foreign currency loan crisis

Omissions

• The search did not yield official government sources or central bank statistics documenting the exact number of families protected by foreign currency loan crisis programs
• No specific timeframe is given for when the 500,000 figure was reached
• The distinction between 'families protected' and 'loan contracts modified/converted' is not clarified
• The search results include a 2025 article mentioning 500-600,000 foreign currency debtors in execution proceedings, but this refers to ongoing legal actions rather than families protected from the crisis
