some cases even increased with established customers
and those with a high credit rating.
On 10-Sep-09 BBVA incorporated the business of
Guaranty Financial Group on its balance sheet. This bank
was acquired on 22-Aug-09 and it contributed (at market
value) $7,500m in loans and $11,400m in customer
funds. Because it is relatively small, the acquisition hardly
affects the year-on-year comparisons of the Group’s
balance sheet. Nonetheless, off-balance-sheet funds are
affected by the State takeover of the pension funds in
Argentina in the fourth quarter last year.
The end-of-period exchange rates have a negative
impact (just over three percentage points) on
year-on-year comparisons of the balance sheet and
business figures. In the last 12 months most currencies
with an impact on BBVA’s financial statements, such as
the Mexican peso and the US dollar, depreciated
against the euro. Comparisons for the main items based
on constant exchange rates are provided to facilitate
the assessment of business trends.
At 30-Sep-09 the Group’s total assets came to €537
billion, an increase of 1.8% compared to €528 billion
