BBVA reported a 23% jump in net profit for Q1 2025, driven by robust lending in Spain and Mexico. The bank attracted nearly 3 million new customers, with two-thirds joining digitally.

BBVA may cut up to 2,500 positions following its merger with Sabadell, according to reports. The move is part of efforts to streamline operations post-integration. While Spain's antitrust watchdog does not expect the deal to harm competition, the workforce reduction signals significant restructuring ahead for the combined bank.678
