                            <![CDATA[BBVA’s Corporate &amp; Investment Banking (CIB) area posted revenues of €2.185 billion in the first quarter of 2026, up 24% compared to the same period in 2025 (at constant euros, excluding the accounting impact of the hyperinflation adjustment). 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. In addition, attributable profit exceeded €1 billion for the first time in a quarter, reaching €1.083 billion (+24% year-on-year at constant euros, +18% year-on-year in current euros).]]>
