Spanish bank BBVA reports 32% increase in net income to €2.06B; fees and commissions revenue offset lower interest income due to Europe's rate-hike cycle.

Spanish lender Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) reported a 32% increase in net income to €2.06 billion in its latest financial filing. The bank's fees and commissions revenue exceeded expectations, helping offset a decrease in interest income due to the end of Europe's rate-hike cycle. BBVA announced a €781 million share buyback program, following a €1 billion share buyback in 2022. The bank's profit in Spain met estimates, while Mexico, BBVA's largest market, came in slightly below expectations.
