BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) has decided to boost its equities capability for corporate clients, issuers and institutional clients along two vectors: on one hand, developing its equity investment products factory and digital platforms for product distribution; and, on the other, expanding its ECM (Equity Capital Markets) execution capabilities through a strategic alliance with Oddo BHF, one of Europe's leading equity research and distribution entities.

BBVA is a global financial group with a customer-centric vision, characterized by its pioneering commitment to digitalization, innovation, and sustainability. It currently has over more than 80.1 million active customers and over 126,997 employees. BBVAoperates in more than 25 countries worldwide, has a leading position in the Spanish market and, is the largest financial institution in Mexico and has leading franchises in South America and Turkey. BBVA also has a remarkable investment banking, transaction banking, and capital markets business, leveraged on the cross-border business among its geographies and sector-specific expertise, with specialized focus on supporting companies in their decarbonization efforts.

The housing market is a complex entity that can confuse most Americans, especially when considering the various factors that influence it. Further adding to this entanglement that consumers must unravel are the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview with ‘La Linterna’ de COPE, BBVA’s Group Executive Chairman said that the EU funds to face the health crisis represent “a great opportunity”. In his opinion, if invested “productively in long-term growth and combined in combination with structural reforms”, they can help tackle key problems of the Spanish economy, such as structural unemployment. "We also need to invest in education, focusing on the world of the future: the digital world, the world of data and addressing the transition to a more sustainable world, socially and environmentally."

Natalia Español and Lucía Pacheco, from BBVA's Digital Regulation team, analyze in this op-ed the regulation of crypto-assets. "Luckily, both global bodies and European authorities seem on the right track and looking for a solution that is comprehensive and coordinated", they say.
