However, the entity directed by Jose Ignacio Goirigolzarri has seen its results diminished by the merger with Bankia: is down 39.8%.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting to pay a dividend of 0.2306 euros per share in April, which is 58% more than the previous year (0.1463) and represents 55% of net profit. This is the highest distribution paid among the large Spanish banks if the percentage of the result is taken into account.
