BBVA in 2012

Balance sheet and business activity

Print this page

At the close of 2012, BBVA’s balance sheet and activity were characterized by:

  • A year-on-year increase of 1.7% in gross customer lending. Growth in activity in emerging markets and the incorporation of Unnim have offset lower lending in Spain and in CIB loan portfolios in developed countries.
  • Positive performance in on-balance-sheet customer funds due mainly to the performance of the retail segment.
  • Growth of debt certificates, basically due to new issues and promissory notes placed in the retail network.
  • Positive impact of exchange rates.
