Balance sheet and business activity
During the first quarter of 2026, loans and advances to customers increased by 4.0%, driven by the dynamism of the wholesale segment. Of particular note within this segment was the higher volume of loans to business, which grew by 5.2% at the Group level. Loans to individuals increased by 2.2%, with consumer loans showing greater dynamism, followed by mortgages (4.2% and 1.5%, respectively). All business areas performed well, with Rest of Business standing out.
Customer funds registered an increase of 0.9% so far this year, with slight growth in customer base deposits of 0.5% at the Group level, and 1.5% in off-balance sheet funds.
The other assets/other liabilities figure includes, at the end of March 2026, the assets and liabilities of Garanti Bank SA., Motoractive IFN SA., and Motoractive Multiservices, SRL, which have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities held for sale (NCA&L) on the BBVA Group's consolidated balance sheet, once the sale agreement was made public, as already mentioned in the highlights section. Therefore, the loans and advancements to customers and customer base deposits in the Group's tables and charts presented here, unless expressly stated otherwise, exclude those corresponding to the subsidiaries covered by the sale agreement in Romania.
