Spanish term

mix crediticio

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) news article
This is from a news article on the possible problems of savings banks if there is a sudden correction in the Spanish real estate market.
The sentence that I am having problems with is:
"cinco cajas de ahorro de ámbito regional o local, a las que no identifica, pueden experimentar una rebaja en sus «ratings» por el peso relativo del crédito a promotores en su «mix» crediticio." So I am not sure how to translate the part
"por el peso relativo del crédito a promotores en su «mix» crediticio"
Can anybody help me please?
So far I have got "five regional or local savings banks, the names of which have not been disclosed, may be at risk of ratings downgrades due to the relative weight of credit incurred....???"

... loans to "promotores" in its loan portfolio

My question here is what is the reference to "promotores", perhaps real estate agents? Certainly in the US, many real estate agents who speculated in the market as direct mortgage holders have now been caught on the downside and many mortgage companies and local banks have had to downsize, some have gone out of business.

You could substitute "credit mix" for "loan portfolio", but the expression "credit mix" is not much used in English; "credit portfolio" is also good, but not as common as "loan portfolio".
