Executive Summary

Successful growth story: becoming more a Platform than a Bank

The Bank has entered a new dimension of growth driven by structural trends. Among the main consequences:

  • growth of the Balance Sheet comfortably under control thanks to new initiatives: boosting Fees to increase revenues with a better mix
  • new discontinuity in FAM, entered in its second wave to take more control of the value chain and further boost Investing revenues and margins
