MADRID (Reuters) - European Central Bank Vice President Luis de Guindos said on Thursday that the Spanish government was still within its deadline to sell any further stakes in state-owned Bankia.

Spain aims to sell its 61.4 percent stake after pumping 22.4 billion euros (£19.9 billion) into a rescue package for Bankia in 2012 at the height of the financial crisis.

The state has until 2021 to offload the stake.
