Net interest income dipped 10.1% to €2.04bn from €2.27bn during the same period in 2015. The bank attributed the fall to lower financing costs on retail savings, especially maturity deposits, and the lower cost of institutional financing.
Gross income dropped 11.3% year-on-year to €4.05bn from €4.56bn, driven by low interest rates, high market volatility and several one-off events.
At the end of the first half, the bank’s total assets were €353,11bn, a rise of 2.6% year-on-year.
