Dutch Bank ING Groep NV (INGA.AE) on Wednesday reported a 7.2%
rise in first-quarter net profit, reflecting continued loan growth
and lower risk costs.
The Dutch banking group made a net profit of 1.23 billion euros
($1.46 billion) compared with EUR1.14 billion a year earlier. Net
interest income rose to EUR3.4 billion from EUR3.35 billion a year
earlier.
The Amsterdam-listed company's fully loaded common equity Tier 1
ratio, a measure of financial stability, stood at 14.3% at March
31, compared with 14.5% at March 31, 2017.
Chief Executive Ralph Hamers said the bank is on track to
achieve the EUR900 million cost-savings goal set as part of its
'Think Forward' strategy by 2021.
