BBVA Spain’s CEO, Peio Belausteguigoitia, made the case on Tuesday that the proposed integration with Banco Sabadell is a transaction to drive growth, and makes strategic sense. It fits with the bank’s vision for the future, seeking to create value for all stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders and society as a whole. Speaking at the 20th IESE Banking Forum in Madrid, he stated that “the proposed integration with Banco Sabadell is a commitment to unite and combine the strengths of both banks in order to create a better financial institution than each bank on its own.”

BBVA Chair Carlos Torres Vila announced a record-breaking investment plan at the opening of the National Meeting of Regional Advisors (RNCR) of BBVA Mexico, the financial institution’s most important meeting in the country.  In front of more than 500 members of the business community, the Chair reported that BBVA is now making an even more ambitious announcement: “more than 100 billion pesos by 2030”, approximately €4.57 billion. “It is not only an investment. It’s trust. It’s a long-term vision. It’s a commitment to the more than 30 million customers we serve in the country,” he said.

BBVA’s Country Manager in Spain, Peio Belausteguigoitia, confirmed on Thursday that an ample majority of Catalan SMEs stand to benefit from the remedies agreed to by BBVA with Spain’s National Markets and Competition Authority (CNMC). He made these remarks during a meeting with the Business Association of L’Hospitalet and Baix Llobregat (AEBALL), where he doubled down on the importance of strengthening the European business ecosystem to compete on equal terms with other major economies.

BBVA Chair Carlos Torres Vila explained why the union with Banco Sabadell will have a positive impact on the public interest and is beneficial for the customers of both banks, their shareholders and employees, and society as a whole. “It's a positive move for Catalonia, Spain, and Europe,” he said last week in a series of interviews with Cadena COPE, RAC1 and El Periódico. Torres Vila emphasized that Banco Sabadell customers will have access to a network of more than twice as many branches and almost three times as many ATMs, a wider range of products, greater ease for international expansion for companies, and a bank with greater lending capacity (up to an additional €5 billion per year).  It is also a good deal for employees, who will have more opportunities, and for shareholders, who will benefit from a transaction that will lead to higher earnings per share and greater stability given BBVA's geographical diversification.
