Industry Trends

The second quarter of 2012 was characterized by a worsening of the debt crisis in the peripheral European countries and by downgrades in Spain’s sovereign rating. This has negatively affected wholesale business activity in general, above all in Europe.

Despite this situation, BBVA has maintained high-quality recurring earnings at CIB thanks to its differential customer-centric business model, and its portfolio diversified by products and geographical areas.

Unless indicated otherwise, all comments below on percentage changes refer to constant exchange rates, with the aim of providing a better understanding of the performance of BBVA’s wholesale business.
