By GlobalDataABN AMRO Group chairman of the managing board Gerrit Zalm said: "ABN AMRO continued to perform well in Q2 of 2015 following a good start in Q1. With net profit coming to EUR 600 million, Q2 was the most profitable quarter since the new bank was created in 2010.
"The 86% increase in the underlying net profit for Q2 2015 year-on-year was achieved on the back of an increase in the operating result and significantly lower impairments."
