Industry Trends
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the slowdown in world economy eased compared with previous quarters, although, as has been explained in Relevant Events, this more positive mood is not applicable to all regions.
Against this background, our competitors have reacted by focusing on their core products and markets, reducing costs, restricting lending and cutting back on operations with high capital consumption products.
BBVA has continued to show high resilience in earnings from CIB thanks to its customer-centric and diversified business model, greater efficiency and cost control, and prudent risk management.
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.
