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.

At the end of the first half of 2020, BBVA Group’s business areas reporting structure continued to be the same as the one presented at the end of 2019. BBVA Group's business areas are summarized below:

  • Spain mainly includes the banking and insurance businesses that the Group carries out in this country. In April, BBVA reached an agreement with Allianz, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A., to create a bancassurance alliance, with the aim of jointly promoting the non-life insurance business in Spain, excluding the health insurance line, and constituting a newly created insurance company. The closing of the operation is subject to the approval of the competent regulatory authorities.
  • The United States includes the business of BBVA USA 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 the group Garanti BBVA 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. With respect to the agreement reached with Banco GNB Paraguay, S.A., for the sale of BBVA Paraguay, the closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining the authorizations from the competent regulatory authorities.
  • Rest of Eurasia includes the banking business activity carried out in Asia and in Europe, excluding Spain.

The Corporate Center contains the centralized functions of the Group, 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, 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 area 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, in Turkey and in CIB, the results applying constant exchange rates are given as well as the year-on-year variations at current exchange rates.
