EARNINGS
The Group’s net attributable profit in the first
quarter of 2010 amounted to €1,240m. Proper
diversification of operating revenue by business,
geography, product line and customer segments,
together with containment of expenses, constitute the
fundamental characteristics that have allowed BBVA
to continue generating positive, solid, recurrent
earnings throughout several consecutive quarters in
this time of global economic-financial crisis. The
primary characteristics of each are listed below:
Strength of the net interest income due to both
commercial management (proper mix of products
and segments and keeping customer spreads) and
management of the balance sheet (sound structural
interest-rate and liquidity risk management).
