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 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.

In the second quarter of the year, the Group carried out the unification of the BBVA brand in the countries in which it operates, discontinuing the local brand names in Argentina (Francés), the United States (Compass), Mexico (Bancomer), and Peru (Continental). The franchise in Turkey has been renamed Garanti BBVA.

BBVA Group's business areas are summarized below:

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

The Corporate Center exercises centralized Group functions, 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 business 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 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.

In order to make the 2019 information comparable to the 2018, the balance sheets of the first three quarters of the 2018 have been reexpressed to reflect the impacts of inflation on their assets and liabilities.

Since 2019, a column has been included in the balance sheet, which includes the deletions and balance adjustments between different business areas, especially in terms of the relationship between the areas in which the parent company operates, i.e. Spain, Rest of Eurasia and Corporate Center. In previous years, these deletions were allocated to the different areas, mainly in Banking Activity in Spain. Accordingly, the figures from the previous year have been reexpressed to show comparable series.
