All business units contributed to this performance, with double-digit year-on-year growth reflecting the strength and diversification of the area: Global Markets (GM), +31%; Global Transaction Banking (GTB), +17%; and Investment Banking &amp; Finance (IB&amp;F), +47%. Loan book also showed strong momentum, increasing by 9% compared to December 2025. This growth was driven by both IB&amp;F, with particularly strong performance in Project Finance and Corporate Lending, especially in Europe and the United States; and GTB.
