Balance sheet and business activity

The most relevant aspects related to the evolution of the Group's balance sheet and business activity as of September 30, 2023 are summarized below:

  • Loans and advances to customers recorded an increase of 5.3% compared to the end of December 2022, strongly favored by the evolution of retail loans (+6.9% at Group level), supported by both the good performance of credit cards and consumer loans (+12.5% overall at Group level) in Mexico, Turkey and South America, and mortgage loans, mainly in Mexico. On the other hand, loans to the public sector and business loans (+11.0% and +3.0%, respectively) showed a positive dynamic, originating mainly in Mexico.
  • Customer funds increased by 3.6% compared to the end of December 2022, thanks both to the growth in deposits from customers which increased by 2.4% due to the positive evolution of time deposits in all business areas and to the increase in off-balance sheet funds, which grew by +6.9% thanks to the evolution of mutual funds and customer portfolios, highlighting the good performance in Mexico and Spain.
