Comment
ABN AMRO CEO Robert Swaak said: “Developments in the third quarter were encouraging: Dutch society has largely reopened and government support has been withdrawn, though the rise in Covid infections remains a concern. Demand for lending showed signs of recovery and both our mortgage book and corporate loan book grew.
“Our clients increasingly focus on the future and we are there to support them through our trusted relationships and expertise. We continue to deliver on our agenda as we are well ahead of plan in the wind-down of the CIB non-core portfolio, we have paid out the final 2019 dividend, have agreed a compensation scheme for revolving consumer credit and are simplifying our organisational structure.”
