Spain will inject capital into the Bankia group after the nationalized lender posted a 4.45 billion-euro ($5.6 billion) first-half loss.

The nation’s bank rescue fund, known as FROB, will pump from 4 billion euros to 5 billion euros into Bankia, Spain’s third-biggest lender, in the next two weeks, said a person familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified because those details aren’t public.
