BBVA Chair Carlos Torres Vila noted that 2024 was a great year for the bank, which has solidified its position as a benchmark in the European financial sector in terms of growth and profitability. He also said that the bank expects to maintain similar levels of profitability in 2025. “BBVA is in a great position to continue to grow and stand out as one of Europe’s best banks,” he stated. This performance stems from the success of the bank’s strategy, focused on innovation, digitization, and sustainability, as well as the profound transformation that has taken place in recent years. As a result, BBVA has very successfully concluded its strategic cycle 2019-2024, Torres Vila underscored in an interview published on BBVA’s corporate website. Regarding the transaction with Banco Sabadell, he is convinced that its shareholders “will appreciate the extraordinary combination of the two banks.”
