This section presents and analyzes the most relevant aspects of the Group's different business areas. Specifically, for each one of them, it shows a summary of the income statement and balance sheet, the business activity figures and the most significant ratios.

In 2019, BBVA Group’s business areas reporting structure of the BBVA Group's business areas differs from the one presented at the end of the 2018, as a result of the integration of the Non-Core Real Estate business area into Banking Activity in Spain, now reported as “Spain”. In order to make the 2019 information comparable to 2018, the figures for both areas have been reexpressed. BBVA Group's business areas are summarized below:

  • Spain mainly includes the banking and insurance businesses that the Group carries out in Spain.
  • The United States includes the Group's business activity in the country through BBVA Compass group and BBVA’s New York branch.
  • Mexico includes the Group's banking and insurance businesses in this country as well as the activity of BBVA Bancomer’s branch in Houston.
  • Turkey reports the activity of Garanti group that is mainly carried out in this country and, to a lesser extent, in Romania and the Netherlands.
  • South America basically includes the Group's banking and insurance businesses in the region.
  • Rest of Eurasia includes the banking business activity carried out by the Group in Europe, excluding Spain, and in Asia.

The Corporate Center contains the Group’s holding function, including: the costs of the head offices with  a corporate function; management of structural exchange rate positions; some equity instruments issuances to ensure an adequate management of the Group's global solvency. It also includes portfolios whose management is not linked to customer relationships, such as industrial holdings; certain tax assets and liabilities; funds due to commitments to employees; goodwill and other intangible assets.

In addition to these geographical breakdowns, supplementary information is provided for the wholesale businesses carried out by BBVA, i.e. Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), in the countries where it operates. This business is relevant to have a broader understanding of the Group's activity and results due to the important features of the type of customers served, products offered and risks assumed.

The information by business areas is based on units at the lowest level and/or companies that comprise the e Group, which are assigned to the different areas according to the main region or company group in which they carry out their activity.

As usual, in the case of the different business areas in America and Turkey and in CIB, the results of applying constant exchange rates are given as well as the year-on-year variations at current exchange rates.
