Balance sheet and business activity

Print this page

BBVA Group’s year-on-year figures for its business activity and balance sheet as of 31-Dec-2015 are influenced by the incorporation of the balances from CX and by the integration of Garanti, after closing the purchase of an additional 14.89% of this Turkish bank. Considering Turkey on an ongoing basis, i.e. with the 25.01% initial stake and with its balances integrated in the proportion corresponding to this percentage stake, trends are summarized below:

  • Recovery in the last quarter of 2015 of part of the general depreciation accumulated by the exchange rates of the currencies of emerging countries against the euro. However, a comparison of the year-end exchange rates against the euro on 31-Dec-2015 against those on the same date in 2014 shows that the effect on the year-on-year rates of change is negative.
  • Growth in gross lending to customers (not including repurchase agreements –repos–) picks up speed: up 7.5% since December 2014, up 11.4% at constant exchange rates. This better performance is due to the increase in loans across all geographical areas. In Spain, this rise is explained by the incorporation of the balances from CX (up 13.1%), but also by the excellent performance of the production of new loans in all the segments, which has resulted in the stock of these products registering positive year-on-year rates of change (except for mortgages, which is a portfolio with a high degree of redemptions, and public sector lending).
  • Favorable performance of deposits from customers (excluding repurchase agreements –repos–: up 10.9% year-on-year at current exchange rates and 18.5% at constant rates).
  • Reduction in non-performing loans, thanks to lower additions to NPL and the good performance of recoveries. The increase in this figure compared to that registered twelve months earlier is explained by the aforementioned incorporation of the balances from CX.
  • Off-balance-sheet funds (mutual and pension funds and other off-balance-sheet funds) have also accelerated their year-on-year rate of growth compared to that in the first nine months of the year: up 6.6% taking into consideration the impact of currencies and up 8.1% at constant exchange rates.
