PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Under Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, all companies governed by the law of an EU Member State and whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State must prepare their consolidated financial statements for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 in conformity with EU-IFRS. The Bank of Spain issued Circular 4/2017 of November 27, 2017 (“Circular 4/2017”), which replaced Circular 4/2004 of December 22, 2004, on Public and Confidential Financial Reporting Rules and Formats (“Circular 4/2004”) for financial statements relating to periods ended January 1, 2018 or thereafter.

There are no differences between EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017 and IFRS-IASB as of the dates and for the periods presented. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 6-K are in compliance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB, and adopted by the European Union and required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017.

For a description of our critical accounting policies, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

The financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements may differ from previously reported financial information as of such date and for such period in our previously filed reports, as a result of the modifications referred to below under “—Hyperinflationary Economies” and “—Changes in Operating Segments”.

Application of IFRS 16

On January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17 “Leases”. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. The standard provides two exceptions that can be applied in the case of short-term contracts and those in which the underlying assets have low value. BBVA has applied both exceptions. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset, which is recorded under the headings “Tangible assets - Property, plants and equipment” and “Tangible assets – Investment properties” of our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 16), and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments, which is recorded under the heading “Financial liabilities at amortized cost – Other financial liabilities” of our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 21.5). For the consolidated income statement within our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the amortization of the right to use an asset is recorded under the heading “Depreciation and amortization – Tangible assets” (see Note 40) and the financial cost associated with the lease liability is recorded under the heading “Interest expense – Financial liabilities at amortized cost” (see Note 32.2).

With regard to lessor accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor will continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

As allowed by IFRS 16, consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2018 and consolidated income statement information for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included in our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements has not been restated retrospectively in this regard.

See “5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Application of IFRS 16”.

IAS 12 – “Income Taxes” Amendment

As part of the annual improvements to IFRS standards (2015-2017 cycle), IAS 12 - “Income Taxes” was amended for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. According to the amended standard, an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. In accordance with the amended standard, we recorded the income tax consequences of dividends paid in the six months ended June 30, 2019 (amounting to €32 million income) under “Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations” of our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 18). Such income tax consequences were previously recorded under “Total Equity”. Financial information for prior periods has not been restated retrospectively in this regard. If amended standard had been followed with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2018, it would have resulted in €38 million income for such period, which would have meant an increase of 1.5% of the consolidated profit of that period. The new standard has had no impact on our consolidated equity.

Hyperinflationary economies

In late 2018, the Group made a change with respect to the accounting policies for hyperinflationary economies in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial information in hyperinflationary economies”. For additional information on such change see “Presentation of Financial Information―Hyperinflationary Economies” in our 2018 Form 20-F. In addition, in the third quarter of 2018, Argentina, which is part of the South America segment, was considered to be a hyperinflationary country for the first time, and we applied hyperinflation accounting in respect thereof with effect from January 1, 2018. As a result thereof, the information for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated for comparative purposes.

Changes in Operating Segments

During 2019, we changed the reporting structure of the BBVA Group’s operating segments as a result of the integration of the Non-Core Real Estate business area into Banking Activity in Spain, which has been renamed “Spain”. Additionally, certain balance sheet intra-group adjustments between Corporate Center and the operating segments have been reallocated to the corresponding operating segments. In addition, certain expenses related to global projects and activities have been reallocated between the Corporate Center and the corresponding operating segments. In order to make the information as of December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 comparable with the information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as required by IFRS 8 “Information by business segments”, figures as of December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been recast in conformity with the new segment reporting structure.

For additional information on our current segments, see 4B. “Business Overview―Operating Segments” and Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statistical and Financial Information

The following principles should be noted in reviewing the statistical and financial information contained herein:

· Average balances, when used, are based on the beginning and the month-end balances during each six- month period. We do not believe that such monthly averages present trends that are materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages.

· Unless otherwise stated, any reference to loans refers to both loans and advances.

· Financial information with respect to segments or subsidiaries may not reflect consolidation adjustments.

· Certain numerical information in this interim report on Form 6-K may not compute due to rounding. In addition, information regarding period-to-period changes is based on numbers which have not been rounded.

· Information has not been annualized except where explicitly stated.

(3) Represents net interest income as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Net interest margin” for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two.

(4) Represents profit attributable to parent company as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Return on average total assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, profit attributable to parent company is annualized by multiplying profit attributable to parent company for the period by two.

(5) Represents profit attributable to parent company for the period as a percentage of average shareholders’ funds for the period. In order to calculate “Return on average shareholders’ funds” for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, profit attributable to parent company is annualized by multiplying profit attributable to parent company for the period by two.

(6) Represents impairment losses on loans and advances at amortized cost.

(7) Represents the sum of impaired loans and advances to customers and impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers divided by the sum of loans and advances to customers and loan commitments and guarantees to customers.

(8) We include loan commitments and guarantees to customers in the calculation of our non-performing asset ratio (NPA ratio). We believe that impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers should be included in the calculation of our NPA ratio where we have reason to know, as of the reporting date, that they are impaired. The credit risk associated with loan commitments and guarantees to customers (consisting mainly of financial guarantees provided to third-parties on behalf of our customers) is evaluated and provisioned according to the probability of default of our customers’ obligations. If impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers were not included in the calculation of our NPA ratio, such ratio would generally be lower for the periods covered, amounting to 3.68% as of June 30, 2019, 3.77% as of December 31, 2018 and 4.25% as of June 30, 2018.

(9) Includes impaired loans and advances.

4B. Business Overview

BBVA is a highly diversified international financial group, with strengths in the traditional banking businesses of retail banking, asset management and wholesale banking. We also have investments in some of Spain’s leading companies.

The Group is committed to offering a compelling digital proposition and is focused on increasingly offering products online and through mobile channels, improving the functionality of its digital offerings and refining the customer experience. During the first six months of 2019, the number of digital and mobile customers and the volume of digital sales continued to increase.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Group carried out the unification of the BBVA brand in the countries in which it operates, replacing the local brand names in Argentina (Francés), the United States (Compass), Mexico (Bancomer), and Peru (Continental) with BBVA. The bank in Turkey has been renamed Garanti BBVA.

Operating Segments

Set forth below are the Group’s current six operating segments:

• Spain;

• The United States;

• Mexico;

• Turkey;

• South America; and

• Rest of Eurasia.

In addition to the operating segments referred to above, the Group has a Corporate Center which includes those items that have not been allocated to an operating segment. It includes the Group’s general management functions, including costs from central units that have a strictly corporate function; management of structural exchange rate positions carried out by the Financial Planning unit; specific issues of capital instruments to ensure adequate management of the Group’s overall capital position; certain proprietary portfolios; certain tax assets and liabilities; certain provisions related to commitments with employees; and goodwill and other intangibles. BBVA’s 20% stake in Divarian Propiedad, S.A. (“Divarian”) is included in this unit. For more information regarding Divarian, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2018” and “Item 10. Additional Information—C. Material Contracts—Joint Venture Agreement with Cerberus” in the 2018 Form 20-F.

Mutual funds in this operating segment as of June 30, 2019 amounted to €872 million, a 30.3% increase compared with the €669 million recorded as of December 31, 2018, mainly due to the positive growth in money market related funds due to positive market performance.

4E. Selected Statistical Information

The following is a presentation of selected statistical information for the periods indicated. Where required under Industry Guide 3, we have provided such selected statistical information separately for our domestic and foreign activities, pursuant to our determination, where applicable, that our foreign operations are significant according to Rule 9-05 of Regulation S-X. The allocation of assets and liabilities is based on the domicile of the Group entity at which the relevant asset or liability is accounted for. Domestic balances are those of Group entities domiciled in Spain, which reflect our domestic activities, and international balances are those of the Group entities domiciled outside of Spain, which reflect our foreign activities.

Financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated for comparability purposes. See “Presentation of Financial Information”.

Average Balances and Rates

The tables below set forth selected statistical information on our average balance sheets, which are based on the beginning and month-end balances in each period. We do not believe that monthly averages present trends materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages. Interest income figures, when used, include interest income on non-accruing loans to the extent that cash payments have been received. Loan fees are included in the computation of interest revenue.

Changes in Net Interest Income-Volume and Rate Analysis

The following tables allocate changes in our net interest income between changes in volume and changes in rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2017. Volume and rate variance have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the period and changes in interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The only out-of-period items and adjustments excluded from the following table are interest payments on loans which are made in a period other than the period in which they are due. Loan fees were included in the computation of interest income.

Interest Earning Assets—Margin and Spread

The following table analyzes the levels of our average earning assets and illustrates the comparative gross and net yields and spread obtained for each of the periods indicated.

	Six months ended June 30,
	2019	2018
	(In Millions of Euros, except %)
Average interest earning assets	638,415	640,936
Gross yield (1)	2.5%	2.2%
Net yield (2)	2.3%	2.1%
Net interest margin (3)	1.4%	1.3%
Average effective rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities	1.3%	1.1%
Spread (4)	1.2%	1.1%

(1) “Gross yield” represents total interest income divided by average interest earning assets.

(2) “Net yield” represents total interest income divided by total average assets.

(3) “Net interest margin” represents net interest income as percentage of average interest earning assets.

(4) Spread is the difference between “Gross yield” and the “Average effective rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities”.

ASSETS

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

As of June 30, 2019, interbank deposits (excluding deposits with central banks) represented 5.1% of our total assets. Of such interbank deposits, 10.6% were held outside of Spain and 89.4% in Spain. We believe that our deposits are generally placed with highly rated banks and have a lower risk than many loans we could make in Spain. However, such deposits are subject to the risk that the deposit banks may fail or the banking system of certain of the countries in which a portion of our deposits are made may face liquidity or other problems.

Securities Portfolio

As of June 30, 2019, our total securities portfolio was carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount (equivalent to its market or appraised value as of such date) of €138,318 million, representing 19.8% of our total assets. €25,261 million, or 18.3%, of our securities portfolio consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. The average yield during the six months ended June 30, 2019 on the investment securities that BBVA held was 4.6%, compared with an average yield of approximately 6.2% earned on loans and advances during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For a discussion of our investments in affiliates, see Note 15 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of the manner in which we value our securities, see Note 7 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables analyze the amortized cost and fair value, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of debt securities recorded under “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” in our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial assets held for trading, non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss are not included in the tables below because the amortized costs and fair values of these items are the same.

The following table sets forth a breakdown, by currency, of our net loan portfolio as of June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018:

	As of June 30, 2019	As of December 31, 2018	As of June 30, 2018

In euros	194,195	193,702	189,196
In other currencies	196,401	194,148	198,561
Total net lending (1)	390,596	387,850	387,757

As of June 30, 2019, total loans and advances by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €1,403 million, compared with €1,866 million as of December 31, 2018. Loans and advances outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €16,063 million, or 4.1% of our total loans and advances to customers as of June 30, 2019, compared with the €16,671 million, or 4.2% of our total loans and advances to customers as of December 31, 2018. None of our loans to companies controlled by the Spanish government are guaranteed by the government and, accordingly, we apply normal credit criteria in extending credit to such entities. Moreover, we carefully monitor such loans because governmental policies necessarily affect such borrowers.

Diversification in our loan portfolio is our principal means of reducing the risk of loan losses. We also carefully monitor our loans to borrowers in sectors or countries experiencing liquidity problems. Our exposure to our five largest borrowers as of March 31, 2019 (which is the latest available information) excluding government-related loans, amounted to €22,655 million or approximately 5.3% of our total outstanding loans and advances. As of June 30, 2019 there did not exist any concentration of loans exceeding 10% of our total outstanding loans and advances, other than by category as disclosed above.

Maturity and Interest Sensitivity

The following table sets forth a breakdown by maturity of our total loans and advances to customers by domicile of the branch office that issued the loan and the type of customer as of June 30, 2019. The determination of maturities is based on contract terms.

(1) Domestic loans charged off in 2018 were mainly related to the real estate sector.

When the recovery of any recognized amount is considered to be remote, this amount is removed from the consolidated balance sheet, without prejudice to any actions taken by the consolidated entities in order to collect the amount until their rights extinguish in full through expiry, forgiveness or for other reasons.

The loans charged off amounted to €1,361 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the €4,774 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the €1,297 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Our loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and advances to customers and credit institutions decreased to 3.09% as of June 30, 2019 from 3.19% as of December 31, 2018.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered to be credit-impaired under IFRS 9 if one or more events have occurred and they have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan.

Amounts collected in relation to impaired financial assets at amortized cost are used to recognize the related accrued interest and any excess amount is used to reduce the unpaid principal. The approximate amount of interest income on our impaired loans which was included in profit attributable to parent company for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was €214 million and €220 million, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding our impaired loans of customers and credit institutions as of the dates indicated:

Impaired loans as a percentage of loans and advances at amortized cost	4.04%	4.27%
Impaired loans (net of reserve) as a percentage of loans and advances at amortized cost	0.97%	1.08%

Our total impaired loans to customers and credit institutions amounted to €16,009 million as of June 30, 2019, a 2.1% decrease compared with €16,359 million as of December 31, 2018. This decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction of the Group’s exposure to loans to households.

Our loan loss reserve includes loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for unimpaired assets which present an expected credit loss. As of June 30, 2019, the loan loss reserve amounted to €12,174 million, a 0.3% decrease compared with the €12,211 million recorded as of December 31, 2018.

The following tables provide information regarding impaired loans to customers and credit institutions recorded under “Financial assets at amortized cost” and accumulated impairment taken for each loan category, as of June 30, 2019, by type of customer:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of June 30, 2019, of the total troubled debt restructurings of €16,448 million, €7,159 million were not considered impaired loans.

Potential Problem Loans

The identification of “Potential problem loans” is based on the analysis of historical non-performing asset ratio trends, categorized by products/clients and geographical locations. This analysis is focused on the identification of portfolios with non-performing asset ratio higher than our average non-performing asset ratio. Once these portfolios are identified, we segregate such portfolios into groups with similar characteristics based on the activities to which they are related, geographical location, type of collateral, solvency of the client and loan to value ratio.

The non-performing asset ratio in our domestic real estate and construction portfolio was 14.1% as of June 30, 2019 (compared with 15.2% as of December 31, 2018), substantially higher than the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our domestic activities (5.0% as of June 30, 2019 and 5.5% as of December 31, 2018) and the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our consolidated activities (3.8% as of June 30, 2019 and 3.9% as of December 31, 2018). Within such portfolio, construction loans and property development loans (which exclude mainly infrastructure and civil construction) had a non-performing asset ratio of 17.5% as of June 30, 2019 (compared with 17.2% as of December 31, 2018).

Foreign Country Outstandings

The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, the aggregate amounts of our cross-border outstandings (which consist of loans, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, acceptances and other monetary assets denominated in a currency other than the home-country currency of the office where the item is booked) where outstandings in the borrower’s country exceeded 1% of our total assets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Cross-border outstandings do not include loans in local currency made by our subsidiary banks to customers in other countries to the extent that such loans are funded in the local currency or hedged. As a result, they do not include the vast majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries in South America, Mexico, Turkey and the United States or other regions which are not listed below.

	As of June 30, 2019		As of December 31, 2018
	Amount	% of Total Assets	Amount	% of Total Assets

	(In Millions of Euros, Except Percentages)
United Kingdom	4,958	0.7%	7,114	1.1%
Mexico	1,389	0.2%	2,217	0.3%
Turkey	435	0.1%	5,060	0.7%

Other	5,267	0.8%	4,739	0.7%
Total	22,997	3.3%	29,629	4.4%

The Bank of Spain requires that minimum reserves be maintained for cross-border risk arising with respect to loans and other outstandings to countries, or residents of countries, falling into certain categories established by the Bank of Spain on the basis of the level of perceived transfer risk. The category that a country falls into is determined by us, subject to review by the Bank of Spain.

Our exposure to borrowers in countries with difficulties as defined by the OECD, excluding our exposure to subsidiaries or companies we manage and trade-related debt, amounted to €125 million and €100 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These figures do not reflect loan loss reserves of 18% and 38.0% respectively, of the relevant amounts outstanding at such dates. Deposits with or loans to borrowers in all such countries as of June 30, 2019 did not in the aggregate exceed 0.02% of our total assets.

The country-risk exposures described in the preceding paragraph as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, do not include exposures for which insurance policies have been taken out with third parties that include coverage of the risk of confiscation, expropriation, nationalization, non-transfer, non-convertibility and, if appropriate, war and political violence. The sums insured as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 amounted to $90 million and $90 million, respectively (approximately €79 million and €78 million, respectively, based on a euro/dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2019 of $1.00 = €0.89 and on December 31, 2018 of $1.00 = €0.87).

For an analysis of our deposits recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost”, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, saving deposits and time deposits, see Note 21 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Large denomination deposits may be a less stable source of funds than demand and savings deposits because they are more sensitive to variations in interest rates. For a breakdown by currency of customer deposits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, see Note 21 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Return Ratios

The following table sets out our return ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018:

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,	As of June 30,
	2019	2018	2018
	(In Percentages)
Return on equity (1)	9.0%	10.1%	9.8%
Return on assets (2)	0.9%	0.9%	0.9%
Equity to assets ratio (3)	7.8%	7.8%	7.6%

(1) Represents profit attributable to parent company for the period as a percentage of average shareholders’ funds for the period. For June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 data, profit attributable to parent company is annualized by multiplying the profit attributable to parent company for the period by two.

(2) Represents profit attributable to parent company as a percentage of average total assets for the period. For June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 data, profit attributable to parent company is annualized by multiplying the profit attributable to parent company for the period by two.

(3) Represents average total equity over average total assets.

EQUITY

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

As of June 30, 2019, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to €6,923 million, a 4.05% decrease compared to the €7,215 million recorded as of December 31, 2018.

The majority of the balance is related to the conversion to euros of the financial statements balances from consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro.

5A. Operating Results

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Trends in Exchange Rates

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in that our reporting currency is the euro, whereas certain of our subsidiaries and investees keep their accounts in other currencies, principally Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars, Turkish liras, Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos and Peruvian soles. For example, if Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira depreciate against the euro, when the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies are included in our consolidated financial statements, the euro value of their results declines, even if, in local currency terms, their results of operations and financial condition have remained the same. By contrast, the appreciation of Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira against the euro would have a positive impact on the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies when their results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may limit the ability of our results of operations, stated in euro, to fully show the performance in local currency terms of our subsidiaries.

Except with respect to hyperinflationary economies, the assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries which maintain their accounts in currencies other than the euro have been converted to the euro at the period-end exchange rates and income statement items have been converted at the average exchange rates for the period. The following table sets forth the exchange rates of several Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira against the euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 as averages for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and as period-end exchange rates as of June 30, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018 according to the European Central Bank (the “ECB”).

	Average Exchange Rates		Period-end Exchange Rates
	For the six months ended June 30, 2019	For the six months ended June 30, 2018	As of June 30, 2019	As of December 31, 2018
Mexican peso	21.6509	23.0808	21.8201	22.4921
U.S. dollar	1.1297	1.2105	1.1380	1.1450
Argentine peso			48.7557	43.2900
Colombian peso	3,602.3248	3,448.2759	3,638.4477	3,745.3184
Peruvian sol	3.7516	3.9303	3.7402	3.8621
Turkish lira	6.3577	4.9561	6.5655	6.0588

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Turkish lira and the Colombian peso depreciated against the euro in average terms compared with the same period of the prior year. On the other hand, the Mexican peso, the U.S. dollar and the Peruvian sol appreciated against the euro in average terms. In terms of period-end exchange rates, the Argentine peso and the Turkish lira depreciated against the euro. On the other hand, the Mexican peso, the U.S. dollar, the Colombian peso and the Peruvian sol appreciated against the euro. The overall effect of changes in exchange rates was positive for the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s income statement and negative for the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s balance sheet.

When comparing two dates or periods in this report on Form 6-K we have sometimes excluded, where specifically indicated, the impact of changes in exchange rates by assuming constant exchange rates. In doing this, with respect to income statement amounts, we have used the average exchange rate for the more recent period for both periods and, with respect to balance sheet amounts, we have used the closing exchange rate of the more recent period.

Application of IFRS 16

A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset, which is recorded under the headings “Tangible assets - Property, plants and equipment” and “Tangible assets – Investment properties” of our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 16), and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments, which is recorded under the heading “Financial liabilities at amortized cost – Other financial liabilities” of our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 21.5). For the consolidated income statement within our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the amortization of the right to use an asset is recorded under the heading “Depreciation and amortization – Tangible assets” (see Note 40) and the financial cost associated with the lease liability is recorded under the heading “Interest expense – Financial liabilities at amortized cost” (see Note 32.2).

At the transition date, the Group decided to apply the modified retrospective approach which required the recognition of lease liabilities in an amount equal to the present value of any future payments committed under the Group´s leases as of such date. Regarding the measurement of its right-of-use assets, the Group elected to record an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for the amount of any advance or accrued lease payment related to the Group´s leases recognized in the consolidated financial statements immediately before the transition date.

As of January 1, 2019, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for an amount of €3,419 million and €3,472 million, respectively. The impact in terms of capital (CET1) of the Group amounted to -11 basis points.

IAS 12 – “Income Taxes” Amendment

Sale of BBVA Chile

On July 6, 2018, we completed the sale of our 68.19% stake in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Chile, S.A. (“BBVA Chile”), as well as our stake in other companies of the Group in Chile with operations that are complementary to the banking business (among them, BBVA Seguros de Vida, S.A.), to The Bank of Nova Scotia group for $2,200 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a capital gain, net of taxes, of €633 million. BBVA Chile was part of our South America segment. For additional information on this sale, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2018” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

Transfer of real estate business and sale of stake in Divarian

On October 10, 2018, after obtaining all the required authorizations, BBVA completed the transfer of an important part of the real estate business of BBVA in Spain to Divarian and the sale of an 80% stake in Divarian to Promontoria Marina, S.L.U., a company managed by Cerberus Capital Management L.P. Prior to its contribution to Divarian, the related business was part of our Spain operating segment (and of our Non-Core Real Estate segment before we changed our business segments in 2019). Following the closing of the transaction, BBVA retained 20% of the share capital of Divarian, which is accounted for under the Corporate Center. For additional information on this transaction, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2018” and “Item 10. Additional Information—Material Contracts—Joint Venture Agreement with Cerberus” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

Agreement with Voyager Investing UK Limited Partnership (Anfora)

On December 21, 2018, BBVA reached an agreement with Voyager Investing UK Limited Partnership (“Voyager”), an entity managed by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, for the transfer of a portfolio of credit rights which is mainly composed of non-performing and in default mortgage credits. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2018” in our 2018 Form 20-F. The transaction was completed during the second quarter of 2019 and resulted in a positive impact in the profit attributable to parent company of the BBVA Group of €130 million (net). The impact in terms of capital of the Group shows a slight increase.

Operating Environment

Our results of operations are dependent, to a large extent, on the level of demand for our products and services (primarily loans and deposits but also intermediation of financial products such as sovereign or corporate debt) in the countries in which we operate. Demand for our products and services in those countries is affected by the performance of their respective economies in terms of gross domestic product (“GDP”), as well as prevailing levels of employment, inflation and, particularly, interest rates. The demand for loans and saving products correlates positively with income, which correlates in turn with the GDP, employment and corporate profits evolution. Regarding interest rates, they have a direct impact on banking results as the banking activity mainly relies on the generation of positive interest margins by paying lower interest on liabilities (primarily deposits) than the interest received on assets (primarily loans). However, it should be noted that higher interest rates, all else being equal, also reduce the demand for banking loans and increase the cost of funding of the banking business.

Global growth has been trending down to a softer pace since the second half of 2018, with a more evident effect of the increase in protectionism on global trade and the industrial sector, while there continues to be robust domestic demand supported by positive employment evolution and low inflation. This performance is widespread across regions, with a cyclical slowdown in the United States, a structural growth moderation in China and steady but lower growth in the Eurozone. Faced with this scenario of increasing trade tensions and lower trade and worsening confidence and investment, the main central banks have changed their monetary policy stance aiming to stabilize global growth. Hence, BBVA Research’s forecast is for a smooth deceleration of GDP growth in the global economy, from 3.7% in 2018 to 3.3% in both 2019 and 2020. This is based on the assumptions that a China-United States trade deal will be reached by the end of the year (although trade disputes will not dissipate completely), trade tensions between United States and Europe will remain contained (with no higher tariffs for cars) and Brexit will not imply a disruptive global shock.

Regarding the evolution of key economic areas for the Group, after growing above 3% in each of 2016 and 2017, the Spanish economy slowed slightly in 2018 but it continued to expand at a strong rate in the first half of 2019. The positive inertia of the economy along with supportive monetary and fiscal policies and relatively low oil prices are supporting the dynamism of domestic demand. According to BBVA Research’s current estimates, growth is expected to slow down to slightly below 2.5% in 2019. The most recent national, regional and local elections have not helped to reduce legal and political uncertainty. As a result of the highly divided parliament, the implementation of necessary structural reforms, may be hindered, thus adding new uncertainty.

Mexico’s GDP grew at an annualized rate of 2.0% in 2018 driven by robust private consumption and, throughout most of the year, by the manufacturing sector. At the beginning of 2019 there were clear signs of moderation in economic activity, mainly in the manufacturing sector. The industrial sector has continued to show low dynamism reflecting the moderation in external demand and higher levels of uncertainty, which resulted in lower investment at the beginning of the year. The services sector has been more resilient, although private consumption has shown signs of moderation in recent quarters, as a result in part of the slowdown in job creation and the deterioration in the quality of new jobs created. GDP moderated significantly in the first quarter of 2019, contracting by 0.2% with respect to the previous quarter, and early indicators of the second quarter point to a slow recovery of internal demand indicators. The greater uncertainty with the new government unleashed by decisions such as the cancellation of the new airport as well as the lack of a clear business plan for Pemex, the state-owned oil company, in addition to the new threats of tariffs on Mexican products by the United States have influenced the strong moderation of investment. After a temporary increase in inflation at the beginning of the second quarter, inflation is expected to continue moderating, which should contribute to strengthening private consumption.

South American GDP grew by 1.2% in 2018. Low regional growth was mainly the result of weak macroeconomic performance of some Mercosur countries, such as Argentina, where GDP declined by 2.5% in 2018, largely due to the effects of the foreign exchange crisis triggered by concerns about the funding of the current account deficit in an environment of declining global liquidity. In the first quarter of 2019, the economic activity in most countries of the region slowed, particularly there was a growth decrease in the quarter in Peru (1.4%), Argentina (0.2%) and Brazil (0.2%), while in Chile and Colombia growth was zero. This lower growth was mainly due to weak public and private investment dynamics, affected by greater global uncertainty and the context of trade tensions, as well as by idiosyncratic factors in some countries such as elections in Argentina and political tensions in Peru.

BBVA Research’s current growth forecast for South America in 2019 is 1.2%. We expect the highest growth rates in Colombia and Peru (approximately 3%) while in Brazil and Uruguay growth is expected to be slightly less than 1%. BBVA Research expects Argentina’s economy to contract by 1.2%. BBVA Research expects that Argentina will benefit from continuity of stable macro policies (which is our central scenario) and that Brazil’s investment and exports will recover at a gradual pace, with positive effects from structural measures such as the recent Mercosur-European Union agreement. In the Andean countries, BBVA Research expects that the transitory factors that affected growth at the beginning of the year will dissipate and that the more expansive monetary stance in the large economies, in a context of controlled inflation, will lead to the postponement of adjustments in policy rates. The main risks in the region are related to political and fiscal issues and possible delays in investment projects, in addition to more general risks in the context of the global environment.

In the United States, GDP growth was still solid in early 2019 (0.8% year-to-date) after increasing by 2.9% in 2018, but the slowdown in consumption and investment already reflect some weakness of domestic demand, while the fiscal stimulus is expected to fade over the second half of the year. The appreciation of the U.S. dollar could also weigh on exports amid increasing protectionism and further concerns about the global slowdown. Inflation remains contained despite the overall strength of domestic demand, and an unemployment rate below 4%, while the impact of supply-side shocks from higher tariffs is likely to remain contained so far. As the Federal Reserve is concerned about low inflation and inflation expectations, the central bank has set the stage to begin an easing interest cycle this summer (with estimated rate cuts of up to 75 basis points by March 2020). Under this scenario, BBVA Research expects growth to slow down to 2.5% in 2019 and 2.0% in 2020.

As regards Turkey, in 2018 GDP growth slowed to 2.6%, as tightening financial conditions and increasing geopolitical stress weighed on domestic demand, while the sharp depreciation of the Turkish lira lead to a positive adjustment in the current account (although at the expense of a sharp rise in inflation). The tightening of monetary and fiscal policy designed to correct imbalances generated in prior years will likely continue to slow down growth to around 0.3% in 2019 according to BBVA Research estimates. After the recent replacement of the central bank governor and the fiscal underperformance, risks remain high. A monetary easing cycle will likely start in July.

The changes in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:

Net interest income

The following table summarizes net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

	For the six months ended June 30,
	For the six months ended June 30,
	2019	2018	Change
	(In Millions of Euros)		(In %)
Interest and other income	15,678	14,418	8.7
Interest expense	(6,691)	(5,828)	14.8
Net interest income	8,987	8,590	4.6

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to €8,987 million, a 4.6% increase compared with the €8,590 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the positive evolution in Mexico and the United States (as described below). At constant exchange rates, net interest income increased by 7.1% mainly as a result of the growth in loans in Mexico and the United States. The following factors, set out by region, were the main contributors toward the 4.6% increase in net interest income:

· United States: there was a 12.6% period-on-period increase in net interest income due mainly to higher interest rates as a result of the impact of increases in the Federal Reserve Board benchmark interest rate and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.

· Mexico: there was a 14.9% period-on-period increase in net interest income mainly as a result of higher net revenues from the retail portfolio, the lower cost of deposits, the increase in the average volume of loans and advances to customers and the appreciation of the Mexican peso.

· South America: there was a 3.9% period-on-period increase in net interest income as a result of the growth in the yield on interest-earning assets, particularly in Argentina, and in the average volume of interest earning assets, particularly in Peru.

The increase in net interest income was partially offset by:

· Spain: there was a 2.4% period-on-period decrease in net interest income mainly as a result of the lower contribution from the ALCO portfolio and the effect of the implementation of IFRS 16.

· Turkey: there was a 10.4% period-on-period decrease in net interest income mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.

Dividend income

Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to €103 million, a 23.2% increase compared with the €83 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of higher dividend income relating to South America, particularly in Argentina.

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was a €19 million loss, compared with the €13 million profit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Fee and commission income increased by 3.1% to €3,661 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from €3,553 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the increase in fee and commission income relating to the use of credit and debit cards and the appreciation of the currencies of the main countries where BBVA operates against the euro.

Fee and commission expense

The breakdown of fee and commission expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 is as follows:

	For the six months ended June 30,

Fee and commission expense increased by 11.1% to €1,191 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from €1,073 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in commissions paid by the BBVA Group to other financial institutions in connection with the use of credit and debit cards, particularly in Mexico and Turkey, and the appreciation of the currencies of the main countries where BBVA operates against the euro.

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities

Net gains on financial assets and liabilities decreased by 34.2% to €408 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a net gain of €621 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly due to the weaker performance in Spain and the impact of the depreciation of the Turkish lira.

The table below provides a breakdown of net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	For the six months ended June 30,

(1) Not meaningful.

Gains on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss decreased to €67 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from €130 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly due to the weaker results of the insurance business in Spain (through BBVA Seguros) and Turkey.

Gains on financial assets and liabilities held for trading decreased by 47.5%, to €173 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from €329 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the impact of the depreciation of the Turkish lira, as well as the decrease in gains associated with derivatives and interest rate securities in Spain.

Gains on non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss increased to €98 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from €3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased profits from the management of securities portfolios in South America, particularly in Argentina.

Gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss amounted to a €3 million loss in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from the €107 million gain recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the impact of the depreciation of the Turkish lira and weaker performance in Spain, affected by uneven market performance and lower portfolio sales in such semester.

Exchange differences, net

Exchange differences increased to a €134 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from a €74 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2018 mainly as a result of the appreciation of the currencies of the main countries where BBVA operates against the euro (in average terms).

Other operating income and expense, net

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 39.2% to €337 million compared with the €554 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of lower income from real estate related services in Spain following the various dispositions of real estate related assets completed by BBVA after June 30, 2018 (see “—Results of Operations by Operating Segment for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018—Spain”).

Other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to €995 million, a 6.3% decrease compared with the €1,062 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of lower expense from real estate related services in Spain, partially offset by the greater contributions made to the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Credit Institutions and to the ECB’s Single Resolution Fund.

Income and expense on insurance and reinsurance contracts

Income on insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was €1,547 million, a 3.4% decrease compared with the €1,601 million income recorded for the for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Expense on insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was €983 million, a 9.9% decrease compared with the €1,091 million expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the lower insurance activity related to insurance-savings products in Spain (through BBVA Seguros).

Administration costs

Administration costs, which include personnel expense and other administrative expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to €5,084 million, a 4.0% decrease compared with the €5,297 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of lower rent expenses due to the implementation of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 and lower costs in Spain driven by the efficiency plans.

The table below provides a breakdown of personnel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018:

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was €790 million, a 32.0% increase compared with the €599 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of the implementation of IFRS 16 and higher expense from amortization of intangible assets, particularly related to software in Spain.

Provisions or reversal of provisions

Provisions or reversal of provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to an expense of €261 million, a 41.7% increase compared with the €184 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were reversals of provisions relating to sales in subsidiaries in Turkey, Mexico and Spain.

5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management of liquidity and funding in BBVA aims to finance the recurring growth of the banking business at suitable maturities and costs, using a wide range of instruments that provide access to a large number of alternative sources of financing, while complying with current regulatory requirements.

Due to its subsidiary-based management model, BBVA Group is one of the few large European banks that follows the Multiple Point of Entry (“MPE”) resolution strategy: the parent company sets the liquidity and risk policies, but subsidiaries (with the exception of BBVA Portugal) are expected to be self-sufficient and responsible for managing their liquidity (taking deposits or accessing the market based on their own ratings), without funds transfers or financing occurring between either the parent company and the subsidiaries or between different subsidiaries. This principle limits the spread of a liquidity crisis among the Group’s different areas and ensures that the cost of liquidity and funding is correctly reflected in the price formation process.

The financial soundness of BBVA Group’s banking entities continues to be based on the funding of lending activity, fundamentally through the use of stable customer funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, liquidity conditions remained comfortable across all countries in which the BBVA Group operates:

· In the Eurozone, the liquidity situation remains satisfactory, with a slight increase in the credit gap over the first six months of the year.

· In the United States, the liquidity situation is solid. In the first half of 2019, there has been a decrease in the credit gap due primarily to the increase in deposits as a result of deposit-taking campaigns, and a slowdown in lending activity.

· In Mexico, the liquidity position has been maintained. The credit gap increased slightly in the first half of 2019, affected by the seasonal outflow of deposits, while the loan portfolio remained virtually flat.

· The liquidity position in Turkey is positive, with an adequate buffer against a possible liquidity stress scenario. The credit gap improved in the first half of 2019, both in terms of the balance sheet in foreign currency, due to a greater contraction of loans than deposits, and in local currency, due to higher growth in deposits than loans

· In South America, the liquidity position remains comfortable throughout the region. In Argentina, the liquidity situation improved due to moderate growth in lending activity and the increase in deposits.

As of June 30, 2019, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) in BBVA Group remained above 100% and stood at 132%. All the subsidiaries remained above 100% (Eurozone, 155%; Mexico, 147%; Turkey, 187%; and the United States, 144%). For the calculation of the consolidated ratio we assume that there is no transfer of liquidity among subsidiaries; i.e. excess liquidity levels in our subsidiaries abroad are not considered in the calculation of the consolidated ratio. When considering this excess liquidity levels, the ratio would stand at 163% (31 percentage points above 132%).

The Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”), defined as the ratio between the amount of stable funding available and the amount of stable funding required, is one of the Basel Committee's essential reforms, and requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance-sheet activities. This ratio should be at least 100% at all times. At the BBVA Group, the NSFR ratio, calculated according to Basel requirements, remained above 100% throughout the first half of 2019 and stood at 121% as of June 30, 2019. It comfortably exceeded 100% in all subsidiaries (Eurozone 116%, Mexico 131%, United States 111% and Turkey 151%).

The wholesale funding markets in the geographic areas where the Group operates continued to be stable during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019 we had €45,979 million of debt certificates, comprising €43,282 million in bonds and debentures and €2,697 million in promissory notes and other securities, compared with €43,477 million, €39,973 million and €3,504 million outstanding, respectively, as of December 31, 2018 (see Note 21.5 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements).

In addition, we had a total of €16,956 million in subordinated debt and subordinated deposits and €153 million in preferred securities outstanding as of June 30, 2019 compared with €17,866 million and €181 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018.

The following is a breakdown as of June 30, 2019 of the maturities of our debt securities (including bonds) from credit institutions and subordinated liabilities. Regulatory equity instruments have been classified according to their contractual maturity:

	Demand	Up to 1 Month	1 to 3 Months	3 to 12 Months	1 to 5 Years	Over 5 years	Total
	(In Millions of Euros)
Debt certificates (including bonds)	-	1,590	2,200	3,603	30,552	12,025	49,971
Subordinated debt, subordinated deposits and preferred securities	-	215	5	1,221	3,044	12,625	17,109
Total	-	1,805	2,205	4,824	33,596	24,650	67,080

Generation of Cash Flow

We operate in Spain, Mexico, Turkey, the United States and over 30 other countries, mainly in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Our banking subsidiaries around the world, including BBVA Compass, are subject to supervision and regulation by a variety of regulatory bodies relating to, among other things, the satisfaction of different solvency, resolution and/or governance requirements. The obligation to satisfy such requirements may affect the ability of our banking subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. In addition, under the laws of the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, are incorporated, dividends may only be paid out of funds legally available and, in certain cases, subject to the prior approval of the competent regulatory or supervisory authorities. For example, BBVA Compass is incorporated in Alabama and under Alabama law it is not able to pay any dividends without the prior approval of the Superintendent of Banking of Alabama if the dividend would exceed the total net earnings for the year combined with the bank’s retained net earnings of the preceding two years.

Even where any applicable requirements are met and funds are legally available, the relevant regulator could advise against the transfer of funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, for prudence reasons or otherwise.

There is no assurance that in the future other similar restrictions will not be adopted or that, if adopted, they will not negatively affect our liquidity. The geographic diversification of our businesses, however, may help to limit the effect on the Group of any restrictions that could be adopted in any given country.

We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements and to pursue our planned business strategies.

Capital

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, equity is calculated in accordance with current regulations on minimum capital base requirements for Spanish credit institutions on both an individual and consolidated basis. These regulations dictate how to calculate equity levels, as well as the various internal capital adequacy assessment processes they should have in place and the information such institutions should disclose to the market.

The minimum capital base requirements established by the current regulations are calculated according to the Group’s exposure to credit and dilution risk, counterparty and liquidity risk relating to the trading portfolio, exchange-rate risk and operational risk. In addition, the Group must fulfill the risk concentration limits established in these regulations and internal corporate governance obligations.

As of March 1, 2019 BBVA received a communication of the ECB about the results of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (“SREP”). Taking into account the full application of capital buffers since January 1, 2019 and considering the latest capital requirement communicated from the ECB, BBVA is required to maintain:

1. A CET1 ratio of 9.26% at the consolidated level; and

2. A total capital ratio of 12.76% at the consolidated level. This total consolidated capital ratio includes (i) the minimum CET1 requirement under Pillar 1 (4.5%); (ii) the additional tier 1 capital (“AT1”) requirement under Pillar 1 (1.5%); (iii) the tier 2 capital requirement under Pillar 1 (2%); (iv) the CET1 capital requirement under Pillar 2 (1.5%); (v) the capital conservation buffer (2.5% of CET1); (vi) the Other Systemic Important Institution buffer (“OSII”) (0.75% of CET1); and (vii) the countercyclical capital buffer (0.01% of CET1).

Our consolidated ratios as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,	% Change
	2019	2018	2019-2018
	(In Millions of Euros, Except Percentages )
CORE CAPITAL (a)	42,328	40,313	5.0
CAPITAL (TIER 1) (b)	48,997	45,947	6.6
OTHER ELIGIBLE CAPITAL (TIER 2) (c)	7,944	8,756	(9.3)
CAPITAL BASE (TIER 1 + TIER 2) (d)	56,941	54,703	4.1
RISK WEIGHTED ASSETS (RWA) (e)	360,069	348,264	3.4
BIS RATIO (d)/(e)	15.81%	15.71%
CORE CAPITAL (a)/ (e)	11.76%	11.58%
TIER 1 (b)/ (e)	13.61%	13.19%
TIER 2 (c)/(e)	2.21%	2.51%

As of June 30, 2019, the Group’s CET1 phased-in ratio was 11.8%. The increase by +18 basis points in the first semester of 2019 was supported by the recurring organic capital generation and the positive evolution of the market.

Risk-weighted assets increased by over €11,700 million, mainly as a result of activity growth, primarily in emerging markets, and accounting and regulatory impacts (IFRS 16 and Targeted Review of Internal Models (“TRIM”)) which had an aggregate impact of approximately €7,300 million (-24 basis points in CET1 ratio). In addition, there was a decrease in risk-weighted assets of approximately, €1,500 million (+5 basis points in CET1 ratio) as a result of the effect of the EU Commission´s decision on March 29, 2019 that the supervisory and regulatory frameworks applicable to credit institutions in Argentina should be considered as equivalent to the EU legal framework for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

Regarding capital issuances, BBVA S.A. conducted two capital issuances: the issuance of preferred securities that may be converted into ordinary BBVA shares (CoCos), registered in the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV) for €1,000 million, with an annual coupon of 6.0% and an amortization option from the fifth year; and a Tier 2 subordinated debt issue of €750 million, with a maturity period of 10 years, amortization option in the fifth year, and a coupon of 2.575%. In this regard, the Royal Decree Law 309/2019, of April 26, which partially develops Law 5/2019, of March 15, regulating real estate credit contracts and other measures in financial matters, eliminates the obligation in Spain to obtain a prior approval of the supervisor in order to compute additional level 1 capital and level 2 capital instruments.

The Group continued in the semester with its program to meet the requirements of the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (“MREL”) published in May 2018, by closing two public issues of senior non-preferred debt, for a total of €2,000 million, one of them of €1,000 million in green bonds. BBVA estimates that it meets the MREL requirement.

On the other hand, the options for early amortization of three issues were executed: one CoCos issuance, for €1,500 million and 7% coupon issued in February 2014; another issuance of Tier 2 subordinated debt, for €1.500 million and 3.5% coupon, issued in April 2014 and amortized in April 2019; and another Tier 2 issued in June 2009 by Caixa d'Estalvis de Sabadell with an outstanding nominal amount of €4,878,000 and amortized in June 2019.

As a result thereof, the phased-in CET1 ratio stood at 11.8% as of June 30, 2019, Tier 1 capital stood at 13.6% and Tier 2 at 2.2%, resulting in a total capital ratio of 15.8%.

These levels are above the requirements established by the supervisor in its SREP letter, applicable in 2019. Since March 1, 2019, at consolidated level, this requirement has been established at 9.26% for the CET1 ratio and 12.76% for the total capital ratio. Its variation compared to 2018 is explained by the end of the transitional period for implementation of capital conservation buffers and the capital buffer applicable to Other Systemically Important Institutions, as well as the progression of the countercyclical capital buffer. For its part, the CET1 of Pillar 2 (P2R) requirement remains unchanged at 1.5%.

Notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements

1. Introduction, basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and other information

1.1. Introduction

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (hereinafter “the Bank” or “BBVA") is a private-law entity subject to the laws and regulations governing banking entities operating in Spain. It carries out its activity through branches and agencies across the country and abroad.

The Bylaws and other public information are available for inspection at the Bank’s registered address (Plaza San Nicolás, 4 Bilbao ) as noted on its web site (www.bbva.com).

In addition to the activities it carries out directly, the Bank heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which perform a wide range of activities and which together with the Bank constitute the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Group (hereinafter, the “Group” or the “BBVA Group”). In addition to its own separate financial statements, the Bank is required to prepare consolidated financial statements comprising all consolidated subsidiaries of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements of the BBVA Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 were authorized for issue on March 15, 2019.

1.2. Basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

The BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) and have been presented to the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 30, 2019. In accordance with IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely for the purpose of updating the last annual consolidated financial statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in those financial statements.

Therefore, the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by a complete set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IFRS-IASB, consequently for an appropriate understanding of the information included in them, they should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The aforementioned annual consolidated financial statements were presented in accordance with IFRS-IASB and with EU-IFRS applicable as of December 31 2018 respectively, considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2017, and any other legislation governing financial reporting applicable to the Group in Spain.

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared applying principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria, which, as described in Note 2, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, taking into consideration the new Standards and Interpretations that became effective on January 1, 2019 (see Note 2.1), so that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position as of June 30, 2019, together with the consolidated results of its operations and the consolidated cash flows generated by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

F-11

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group. They include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the entities in the Group.

All effective accounting standards and valuation criteria with a significant effect in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements were applied in their preparation.

The amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros, unless it is more appropriate to use smaller units. Therefore, some items that appear without a balance in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are due to how the units are expressed. Also, in presenting amounts in millions of euros, the accounting balances have been rounded up or down. It is therefore possible that the totals appearing in some tables are not the exact arithmetical sum of their component figures.

The percentage changes in amounts have been calculated using figures expressed in thousands of euros.

When determining the information to disclose about various items of the financial statements, the Group, in accordance with IAS 34, has taken into account their materiality in relation to the consolidated financial statements.

1.3. Comparative information

Hyperinflationary economies

The information as of June 30, 2018 has been restated for comparative purposes taking into account the change in accounting policies for hyperinflationary economies made by the Group in 2018 in accordance with IAS 29 "Financial information in hyperinflationary economies". Additionally, the application of accounting for hyperinflation in Argentina was performed for the first time in September 2018 with accounting effects from January 1, 2018, recording the impact of the nine months in the third quarter. In order to make the 2019 financial information comparable to 2018, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been reexpressed to reflect these impacts.

Leases

As of January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 “Leases” replaced IAS 17 “Leases” and includes changes in the lessee accounting model (see Note 2.1). This amendment was applied using the modified retrospective method and the previous periods have not been restated for comparison purposes as allowed by the standard itself.

Income taxes

As mentioned in Note 2.1, derived from the IFRS 2015-2017 Annual Improvements Project, the amendment to IAS 12 - Income Tax meant that the tax impacts of the distribution of dividends must be recorded in the "Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations" line of the consolidated income statements for the period. Previously they were recorded under total equity. This amendment was applied prospectively from January 1, 2019. The amount derived from having applied this amendment to IAS 12 to prior years would have resulted in a benefit of €38 million in the consolidated income statement for the first half of 2018, which would have meant an increase of 1.5% of the profit attributable to owners of the parent result of that period). This reclassification has no impact on the consolidated total equity.

Operating segments

In 2019, there have been changes to the BBVA Group business segments in comparison to the segment structure in 2018 (See Note 5). The information related to business segments as of December 31, 2018 and as of June 30, 2018 has been restated in order to make them comparable, as required by IFRS 8 “Information by business segments”.

1.4. Seasonal nature of income and expense

The nature of the most significant activities carried out by the BBVA Group’s entities is mainly related to typical activities carried out by financial institutions, and are not significantly affected by seasonal factors within the same year.

F-12

1.5. Responsibility for the information and for the estimates made

The information contained in the BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Group’s Directors.

Estimates were required to be made at times when preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in order to calculate the recorded or disclosed amount of some assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. These estimates relate mainly to the following:

· Impairment losses on certain financial assets (Notes 6, 12, 13, 14 and 15).

· The assumptions used to quantify certain provisions (Note 23) and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments (Note 24).

· The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets (Note 16, 17, 19 and 20).

· The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations (Note 17).

· The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities (Note 7).

· The recoverability of deferred tax assets (Note 18).

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available as of the end of the reporting period, future events may make it necessary to modify them (either up or down) over the coming years. This would be done prospectively in accordance with applicable standards, recognizing the effects of changes in the estimates in the corresponding consolidated income statement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 there were no significant changes to the assumptions made as of December 31, 2018, except as indicated in these consolidated financial statements.

2. Principles of consolidation, accounting policies and measurement bases applied and recent IFRS pronouncements

The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not differ significantly to those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 (Note 2) , except for the entry into force of new standards in 2019.

2.1 Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first six months of 2019

The following amendments to the IFRS standards or their interpretations (hereinafter “IFRIC”) became effective on or after January 1, 2019. They have had an impact on the BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the period ended June 30, 2019.

IFRS 16 – “Leases”

Effective January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17 “Leases”. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. The standard provides two exceptions that can be applied in the case of short-term contracts and those in which the underlying assets have low value. BBVA has elected to apply both exceptions. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset, which is recorded under the headings “Tangible assets – Property plants and equipment” and “Tangible assets – Investment properties” of the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 16) and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments which are recorded under the heading “Financial liabilities at amortized cost – Other financial liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 21.6). In the consolidated income statement, the amortization of the right to use is recorded in the heading “Depreciation and amortization – tangible asset” (see Note 40) and the financial cost associated with the lease liability is recorded in the heading “Interest expense – financial liabilities at amortized cost” (see Note 32.2).

F-13

At the transition date, the Group decided to apply the modified retrospective approach which requires recognition of a lease liability equal to the present value of the future payments committed to as of January 1, 2019. Regarding the measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Group elected to record an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted for the amount of any advance or accrued lease payment related to that lease recognized in the balance sheet before the date of initial application.

As of January 1, 2019, the Group recognized assets for the right-of-use and lease liabilities for an amount of €3,419 and €3,472 million, respectively. The impact in terms of capital (CET1) of the Group amounted to -11 basis points.

IFRIC 23 – “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

IFRIC 23 provides guidance on how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.

If the entity considers that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Interpretation requires the entity to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings.

If the entity considers that it is not probable that taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Interpretation requires the entity to use the most likely amount or the expected value (sum of the probability weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes) in determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates. The method used should be the method that the entity expects to provide the better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

The implementation of this standard as of January 1, 2019 has not had a significant impact on the Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Amended IAS 28 – “Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures”

The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that an entity is required to apply IFRS 9 to long term interests in an associate or joint venture that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied.

The implementation of this standard as of January 1, 2019 has not had a significant impact on the Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2015-2017

The annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2015-2017 includes minor changes and clarifications to IFRS 3- “Business Combinations”, IFRS 11 – “Joint Arrangements”, IAS 12 – “Income Taxes” and IAS 23 – “Borrowing Costs”. The implementation of these standards as of January 1, 2019 has not had a significant impact on the Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, this project has introduced an amendment to IAS 12, whose entry into force on January 1, 2019 meant that the tax impact of the distribution of generated benefits must be recorded in the "Expenses or income for taxes on the profits of the continuing activities" line of the consolidated income statement for the year. The amount derived from this amendment to IAS 12 resulted in a credit of €32 million in the consolidated income statement for the first half of the 2019 fiscal year (see Note 1.3).

Amended IAS 19 – “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement”

The minor amendments in IAS 19 concern the cases if a plan is amended, curtailed or settled during the period. In these cases, an entity should ensure that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions applied for the remeasurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.

F-14

The implementation of this standard as of January 1, 2019 has not had a significant impact on the Group´s condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2.2 Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2019

The following new International Financial Reporting Standards together with their interpretations had been published at the date of preparation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, but are not mandatory as of June 30, 2019. Although in some cases the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) allows early adoption before their effective date, the BBVA Group has not proceeded with this option for any such new standards.

IAS 1 and IAS 8 – “Definition of Material”

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2020.

IFRS 3 – “Definition of a business”

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2020.

IFRS 17 – “Insurance Contracts”

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2022.

Main transactions in the Group in 2018

The following transactions are detailed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018

· Sale of BBVA’s stake in BBVA Chile (July).

· Agreement for the creation of a joint-venture and transfer of the Real Estate business in Spain (October).

4. Shareholder remuneration system

The Board of Directors, at the Annual General Meeting of March 15, 2019, approved the payment in cash of €0.16 (€0.1296 net of withholding tax) per BBVA share as the final dividend for 2018. The dividend was paid on April 10, 2019 (see Note 48.1).

5. Operating segment reporting

Operating segment reporting represents a basic tool in the oversight and management of the BBVA Group’s various activities. The BBVA Group compiles reporting information on disaggregated business activities. These business activities are then aggregated in accordance with the organizational structure determined by the BBVA Group and, ultimately, into the reportable operating segments themselves.

As of June 30, 2019, the reporting structure of the BBVA Group’s business areas differs from the one presented at the end of the year 2018, as a result of the integration of the Non-Core Real Estate business area into Banking Activity in Spain, which has been renamed “Spain”. Additionally, balance sheet intra-group adjustments between Corporate Center and the operating segments have been reallocated to the corresponding operating segments. In addition, certain expenses related to global projects and activities have been reallocated between the Corporate Center and the corresponding operating segments. In order to make the information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 comparable as required by IFRS 8 “Information by business segments”, figures as of December 31, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated in conformity with the new segment reporting structure. The BBVA Group's operating segments are summarized below:

· Spain

Includes mainly the banking and insurance business that the Group carries out in Spain.

· The United States

Includes the financial business activity of BBVA USA in the country and the activity of the branch of BBVA Spain in New York.

· Mexico

Includes banking and insurance businesses in this country as well as the activity of its branch in Houston.

· Turkey

Reports the activity of Garanti BBVA group that is mainly carried out in this country and, to a lesser extent, in Romania and the Netherlands.

· South America

Includes basically the Group´s banking and insurance businesses in the region.

· Rest of Eurasia

Includes the banking business activity carried out by the Group in Europe, excluding Spain, and in Asia.

F-16

Lastly, Corporate Center performs centralized Group functions, including: the costs of the head offices with a corporate function; management of structural exchange rate positions; some equity instruments issuances to ensure an adequate management of the Group's global solvency. It also includes portfolios whose management is not linked to customer relationships, such as industrial holdings, certain tax assets and liabilities; funds due to commitments to employees; goodwill and other intangible assets.

The breakdown of the BBVA Group’s total assets by operating segments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, is as follows:

6. Risk management

The principles and risk management policies, as well as tools and procedures established and implemented in the Group as of June 30, 2019 do not differ significantly from those included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 (see Note 7 of such financial statements).

6.1 Risk factors

BBVA has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios that enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way.

The risk identification processes are forward looking to ensure the identification of emerging risks and take into account the concerns of both the business areas, which are close to the reality of the different geographical areas, and the corporate areas and senior management.

Risks are captured and measured consistently using the methodologies deemed appropriate in each case. Their measurement includes the design and application of scenario analyses and stress testing and considers the controls to which the risks are subjected.

As part of this process, a forward projection of the risk appetite framework variables in stress scenarios is conducted in order to identify possible deviations from the established thresholds. If any such deviations are detected, appropriate measures are taken to keep the variables within the target risk profile.

To this extent, there are a number of risks that could affect the Group’s business trends. These risks are described in the following main sections:

· Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks

Global growth is slowing in the face of protectionist pressures affecting the global industrial sector and international trade, although first quarter data indicates a certain degree of stabilization, supported by the strength of the service sector, strong employment and low inflation. This trend is occurring across all regions, with cyclical slowdown in the United States, the trend toward growth moderation in China and the continuation of lower growth in Europe. Thus, global growth is forecasted at around 3.3% in 2019 and 2020. However, the deterioration of trade negotiations between the United States and China since late April poses a major risk to the global economy.

In terms of monetary policy, the main central banks signaled their intention to adopt further measures that would provide a stimulus to counteract the high level of uncertainty in the economy, as well as the continued decrease in the long-term inflation outlook. The Federal Reserve, after raising its benchmark interest rate to 2.50% in December, laid the foundations to initiate interest rate reductions in the face of more moderate growth forecasts, weighed down by the trade threat and political uncertainty. For its part, the ECB strengthened its accommodative monetary policy stance by approving a new liquidity provision program, postponing its commitment to maintain interest rates at current levels until mid-2020, and indicating that it has a range of instruments at its disposal to combat growth and inflation risks, including the reduction of deposit rates or the renewal of the bond purchase program. Accordingly, interest rates will remain low in major economies, enabling emerging countries to gain room to maneuver.

· Regulatory and reputational risks

· Financial institutions are exposed to a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment defined by governments and regulators. This can affect their ability to grow and the capacity of certain businesses to develop, and result in stricter liquidity and capital requirements with lower profitability ratios. The Group constantly monitors changes in the regulatory framework that allow for anticipation and adaptation to them in a timely manner, adopt industry practices and more efficient and rigorous criteria in its implementation.

F-18

· The financial sector is under ever closer scrutiny by regulators, governments and society itself. In the course of activities, situations which might cause relevant reputational damage to the entity could raise and might affect the regular course of business. The attitudes and behaviors of the Group and its members are governed by the principles of integrity, honesty, long-term vision and industry practices through, inter alia, the internal control model, the Code of Conduct, the Corporate Principles in tax matters and Responsible Business Strategy of the Group.

· Business, operational and legal risks

· New technologies and forms of customer relationships: Developments in the digital world and in information technologies pose significant challenges for financial institutions, entailing threats (new competitors, disintermediation, etc.) but also opportunities (new framework of relations with customers, greater ability to adapt to their needs, new products and distribution channels, etc.). Digital transformation is a priority for the Group as it aims to lead digital banking of the future as one of its objectives.

· Technological risks and security breaches: The Group is exposed to new threats such as cyber-attacks, theft of internal and customer databases, fraud in payment systems, etc. that require major investments in security from both the technological and human point of view. The Group gives great importance to the active operational and technological risk management and control. One example was the early adoption of advanced models for management of these risks (AMA - Advanced Measurement Approach).

· The financial sector is exposed to increasing litigation, so the financial institutions face a large number of proceedings of every kind, civil, criminal, administrative, litigation, as well as investigations from the supervisor, along several jurisdictions, which consequences are difficult to determine (including those procedures in which an undetermined number of applicants is involved, in which damages claimed are not easy to estimate, in which an exorbitant amount is claimed, in which new jurisdictional issues are introduced under creative non contrasted legal arguments and those which are at a very initial stage).

· In Spain, in many of the existing proceedings the plaintiffs claim, both before Spanish courts and in preliminary rulings before the Court of Justice of the European Union, that a number of clauses usually included in a mortgage loan agreements with financial institutions are declared abusive (including mortgage costs clauses, early termination clauses, the use of certain reference interest rates and opening fees).

With regards to mortgage loan agreements with consumers linked to the IRPH index (average rate of mortgage loans for more than three years for the acquisition of free housing, granted by credit institutions in Spain), which is considered an "official interest rate" by the mortgage transparency regulation, calculated by the Bank of Spain and published in the Spanish Official Gazette, the Spanish Supreme Court issued on December 14, 2017 ruling nº 669/2017 in which confirmed that it was not possible to determine the lack of transparency of the interest rate of the loan from the mere fact of its reference to one or another official index, or consider it abusive according to Directive 93/13. As of the date of this report, there is still pending a preliminary ruling resolution of the European Court of Justice which challenges the decision taken by the Spanish Supreme Court.

In addition, the application of certain interest rates and other mandatory rules in certain revolving credit card agreements is also being challenged in Spanish courts. This kind of resolution against the Group or other financial institutions may directly or indirectly affect the Group.

· The Group is also involved in antitrust proceedings in certain countries which could, among other things, give rise to sanctions or lead to lawsuits from third parties.

· The Spanish judicial authorities are investigating the activities of the company Centro Exclusivo de Negocios y Transacciones, S.L. (Cenyt). Such investigation includes the provision of services to the Bank. In this regard, on 29 July 2019, the Bank was notified of the order from the Central Investigating Court number 6 of the National High Court, declaring the Bank as an official suspect (investigado) under preliminary proceedings 96/2017 - piece number 9, for possible breaches of law related to bribery, revelation of secrets and corruption. The Bank has been collaborating proactively with the judicial authorities, sharing with the courts information of the 'forensic' investigation, currently ongoing, which was commissioned to PriceWaterhouseCoopers through its external lawyers Garrigues, together with Uría. The Bank is not authorized to publicly divulge this information given the requirement of not interfering with the judicial investigation. The criminal proceeding is at an incipient stage in the pre-trial phase and continues under secrecy order, so it is not possible to predict at this time the scope or duration of such proceeding or its possible outcome or implications for the Group, notwithstanding the potential reputation risk of these proceedings.

F-19

· The Group constantly manages and monitors investigations, proceedings and legal or regulatory actions for the defense of its interests, making provisions (based on the number of litigations and the status of the proceedings or actions) to cover them when necessary. However, it is difficult to predict the outcome of investigations, legal or regulatory proceedings or actions to which the Bank is already a party, those that may arise in the future or those in which other financial institutions are a party. Therefore, in the event of a change in the case law or unexpected results of some of these, the provisions recorded may be insufficient and may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and results.

7. Fair value of financial instruments

The criteria and valuation methods used to calculate the fair value of financial assets as of June 30, 2019 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 8 from the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The techniques and unobservable inputs used for the valuation of the financial instruments classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, do not significantly differ from those detailed in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2018. Nonetheless, certain interest rate curves have been adapted to those observable in the market, which mainly affects the valuation of certain deposit classes recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” and certain insurance products recorded under “Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss - Other financial liabilities”, and, a result thereof, their classification as instruments of Level 2 from Level 3 previously.

The effect on the consolidated income statements and on the consolidated equity, resulting from changing the main assumptions used in the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments for other reasonably possible assumptions, does not differ significantly from that detailed in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2018.

Below is a comparison of the carrying amount of the Group’s financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and their respective fair values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Ongoing legal proceedings and litigation

The financial sector faces an environment of increasing regulatory and litigious pressure. In this environment, the different Group’s entities are often parties to individual or collective legal proceedings arising from the ordinary activity of their businesses. In accordance with the procedural status of these proceedings and according to the criteria of the attorneys who manage them, BBVA considers that none of them is material, individually or in aggregate, and that no significant impact derives from them neither in the results of operations nor on liquidity, nor in the financial position at a consolidated level of the Group, as at the level of the standalone Bank. The Group Management considers that the provisions made in connection with these legal proceedings are adequate. In addition, as mentioned in Note 6.1 “Risk factors”, the Group is subject or may be subject in the future to a series of legal and regulatory procedures and actions which, in case of a negative result, could have an adverse impact on the Group’s businesses, financial position and results of operations.

In addition to the restructuring and refinancing transactions mentioned in this section, loans that were not considered impaired or renegotiated have been modified based on the criteria set out in the accounting regulation that applies. These loans have not been classified as renegotiated or impaired, since they were modified for commercial or competitive reasons (for instance, to improve relationships with clients) rather than for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial situation.

The table below provides a breakdown by segments of the forbearance operations (net of provisions) as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
