BBVA has closed the first half of 2026 with "excellent" figures. This was stated by the CEO of the Basque bank, Onur Genç, to the agency Europa Press, who stressed that, for the first time, attributed profit has exceeded 6,000 million euros. "Our loan portfolio has grown by more than 60% since the end of 2020; an increase significantly higher than that of our competitors, positioning us as the fastest-growing bank in Spain," Genç insisted.

Specifically, the net attributed profit for this period is 6,051 million euros, an increase of 11.1% compared to the same period last year. According to the entity's statement announcing the results, this is all due to the "good performance of recurring income."

By geographical areas, Mexico has been the main country that has contributed the most to the results, with approximately 2,979 million euros in profit, equivalent to 44.1% of the total. In the case of Spain, which accounted for 32.2% of the group's total earnings, its profit increased by 2.3% compared to the previous year.

For the bank as a whole, Thursday's balance sheet indicated that total assets have a value of 965,426 million euros, 12.3% more than at the close of the semester last year. Of this figure, loans and advances to the entity's clients amounted to 509,424 million euros, also with a higher increase than that of last year.
