Balance sheet and business activity

At the end of the first quarter of 2013, the BBVA Group’s balance sheet and business activity closely reflected the trends mentioned over the course of 2012:

  • Increase of gross lending to customers in the quarter due to the positive impact of exchange rates, the temporary rise in the most volatile balances from repo agreements related to market operations in Spain and stronger activity in emerging economies. All this in a context of reduced lending activity in Spain and in the Group’s CIB portfolios.
  • Growth of customer deposits, basically from the retail segment, which have risen in all the geographical areas.
  • In short, this was yet another quarter of improvement in the Group’s liquidity and funding structure.
  • A rise in total equity over the quarter due to the high earnings generated over the period.
  • Off-balance sheet funds performed outstandingly well in the quarter in all the regions where the Group operates, in mutual funds, pension funds and managed customer portfolios.
  • Finally, there was a positive impact from exchange rates during the year and in the quarter.
