Disclosure of risk management [Text Block] | Risk managementThe principles and risk management policies, as well as tools and procedures established and implemented in the Group as of June 30, 2022 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021.Risk factors The BBVA Group has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios in order to enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way. The risk identification processes are forward looking to seek 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 identified 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 (hereinafter, "RAF") 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. In this context, there are a number of emerging risks that could affect the evolution of the Group’s business, including the below: The Group is sensitive to the deterioration of economic conditions or the alteration of the institutional environment of the countries in which it operates, and especially Spain, Mexico and Turkey. Furthermore, the Group has recently increased its shareholding stake in Turkey Garanti Bankası A.Ş. (Garanti BBVA) in an additional 36.12% (reaching 85.97%) as a result of the voluntary takeover bid for the shares of Garanti BBVA not already owned by BBVA announced in November 2021. In addition to the significant macroeconomic problems triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy is currently facing a number of extraordinary challenges. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the largest military attack on a European state since World War II, has led to significant disruption, instability and volatility in global markets, as well as higher inflation (including by contributing to further increases in the prices of oil, gas and other commodities and further disrupting supply chains) and lower growth. The EU, United States and other governments have imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls. The conflict represents a significant supply shock for the global economy, which is likely to reinforce the moderating trend in economic growth and add to ongoing inflationary pressures, mainly in European countries, due to their relatively significant economic ties with Ukraine and Russia. The economic effects of the war are being felt mainly through the higher commodity prices, but also through the financial and confidence channels, as well as through a further deterioration of the problems in global supply chains. The impact of these challenges and measures, as well as potential responses to these measures by Russia, is currently unknown and, while the Group’s direct exposure to Ukraine and Russia is immaterial, they could adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Geopolitical and economic risks have also increased over the past few years as a result of trade tensions between the United States and China, Brexit, the rise of populism, among others. Growing tensions may lead, among others things, to a deglobalization of the world economy, an increase in protectionism or barriers to immigration, a general reduction of international trade in goods and services and a reduction in the integration of financial markets, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the world economy could be vulnerable to other factors such as the withdrawal of monetary stimulus due to growing and widespread inflationary pressures, which could cause a significant growth slowdown - and, even, a sharp economic recession - as well as financial crises. The central banks of many developed and emerging economies have begun to withdraw the monetary stimulus introduced in previous years and the process of tightening monetary conditions is likely to continue going forward in most economies. In the United States, the Federal Reserve has begun in March 2022 to adjust up the policy rate, which, according to BBVA Research, could converge towards around 3.50% by the end of 2022. In the Eurozone, the ECB has completed the extraordinary purchase program designed to deal with the pandemic (PEPP) as well as the standard program (APP), and has decided in July 2022 a rise of 50 basis points in its reference interest rates. According to BBVA Research, the interest rate on refinancing operations could converge to around 2.0% in the coming months. Another risk is a sharp slowdown in the global GDP growth caused by a deceleration in the Chinese economy due to the potential restrictions on mobility adopted to try to control eventual new waves of coronavirus infections or other factors. The Group bears, among others, the following general risks with respect to the economic and institutional environment in which it operates: a deterioration in economic activity in the countries in which it operates, including recession scenarios; more persistent inflationary pressures (in June 2022 annual inflation has reached 10.2% in Spain, 8.0% in Mexico, 78.6% in Turkey, 64% in Argentina, 8.8% in Peru and 9.7% in Colombia), which could trigger a more severe tightening of monetary conditions; stagflation due to more intense or prolonged supply crises; changes in exchange rates; an unfavorable evolution of the real estate market, to which the Group continues to be significantly exposed; very high oil and gas prices could have a negative impact on disposable income levels in areas that are net energy importers, such as Spain or Turkey, to which the Group is particularly exposed; changes in the institutional environment of the countries in which the Group operates could give rise to sudden and sharp drops in GDP and/or changes in regulatory or government policy, including in terms of exchange controls and restrictions on the distribution of dividends; a growth in the public debt or in the external deficit could lead to a downward revision of the credit ratings of the sovereign debt and even a possible default or restructuring of said debt; and episodes of volatility in the markets, which could cause the Group significant losses. – Risks relating to the political, economic and social conditions in Turkey In May 2022, the Group increased its shareholding stake in Garanti BBVA (Turkey) from 49.85% to 85.97% following the completion of a voluntary tender offer (see Note 3). Turkey has, from time to time, experienced volatile political, economic and social conditions. As of the date of the approval of these consolidated financial statements, Turkey is facing an economic crisis characterized by strong depreciation of the Turkish lira, high inflation (the Turkish National Statistics Institute (TUIK) established the inflation rate at 42.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2022; see Note 2.1 for information on the impact of the application of IAS 29), a soaring trade deficit, depletion of the central bank’s foreign reserves and rising external financing costs. Continuing unfavorable economic conditions in Turkey, such as the accelerated inflation and devaluation of the Turkish lira, may result in a potential deterioration in the purchasing power and creditworthiness of our clients (both individual and corporate). Additionally, certain ongoing geopolitical and domestic political factors, referred to in this section, as well as continuing regional conflicts (such as in Syria, Armenia/Azerbaijan), may pose further strain on the country’s economy. There can be no assurance that these and other factors will not have an impact on Turkey and will not cause further deterioration of the Turkish economy, which may have a material adverse effect on the Turkish banking sector and the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations in Turkey. – Risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has adversely affected the world economy, and economic activity and conditions in the countries in which the Group operates. New waves of contagion continue to be a source of concern and the emergence of new strains remains a risk, although increasing vaccination rates may continue to reduce its impact on economic activity. Among other challenges, these countries are still dealing with relatively high unemployment levels, supply disruptions and increasing inflationary pressures, while public debt has increased significantly due to the support and spending measures implemented by the government authorities. Furthermore, there has been an increase in loan losses from both companies and individuals, which has so far been slowed down by the impact of government support measures, including bank payment deferrals, credit with public guarantee and direct aid measures. Likewise, volatility in the financial markets may continue affecting exchange rates and the value of assets and investments, which has adversely affected the Group ’ s capital base and results in the past, and could do so again. There are still uncertainties about the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly if there is an increase in infections caused by the new variants of the coronavirus. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the Group experienced a decline in its activity. For example, the granting of new loans to individuals decreased during lockdowns. In addition, in several countries, including Spain, the Group closed a significant number of its branches and reduced the opening hours of working with the public, with central services teams having to work remotely. While these measures were progressively reversed, additional restrictions on mobility could be adopted that affect the Group’s operations. Furthermore, the Group has been and may be affected by the measures or recommendations adopted by regulatory authorities in the banking sector, such as variations in reference interest rates, the modification of prudential requirements, the temporary suspension of dividend payments, the modification of the deferral of monthly installments for certain loans and the granting of guarantees or public guarantees to credit operations for companies and self-employed persons, the adoption of further similar measures or the termination of those already approved, as well as any changes in financial assets purchase programs by the ECB. Furthermore, pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the business and transactions of third parties that provide critical services to the Group and, in particular, the higher demand and/or the lower availability of certain resources, compounded by ongoing supply bottlenecks could, in some cases, make it more difficult for the Group to maintain the required service levels. In addition, the widespread use of remote work has increased the risks related to cybersecurity, as the use of non-corporate networks has increased. Further, despite the progressive lessening of restrictions since 2020 and the increasing resumption of activities, the Group continues to face various risks, such as a greater impairment of the value of its assets (including financial instruments valued at fair value, which may suffer significant fluctuations) and of the securities held for liquidity reasons, an increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) and risk-weighted assets (RWAs), as well as an increase in the Group ’ s cost of financing and a reduction in its access to financing (especially in an environment where credit ratings are affected). The COVID-19 pandemic has also exacerbated and may continue to exacerbate other risks disclosed in this section, including but not limited to risks associated with the credit quality of the Group’s borrowers and counterparties or collateral, any withdrawal of ECB funding (of which the Group has made and continues to make significant use), the Group’s exposure to sovereign debt and rating downgrades, the Group’s ability to comply with its regulatory requirements, including MREL (as defined herein) and other capital requirements, and the deterioration of economic conditions or changes in the institutional environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the Spanish economy and its sovereign fiscal position. Despite the 5.1% expansion in 2021, Spanish GDP remains below the level observed immediately before the pandemic given its 10.8% contraction in 2020. The relative weakness of economic activity and the measures the fiscal stimulus adopted have generated fears about the sustainability of public debt in the medium and long term, amid the European Central Bank’s withdrawal of monetary stimulus introduced following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of (renewed) fragmentation in the Eurozone is on the rise, once the ECB has significantly reduced its asset purchase programs. In addition, the annual inflation rate for 2021 (6.5% in December) was the highest since 1989. Against this backdrop, the consequences of the war in Europe (mainly through higher prices and supply restriction in commodity markets) could slow growth down (and eventually cause a recession) and keep inflation at high levels at least in 2022 and 2023. On the other hand, although the economic recovery is expected to be supported by the adoption of initiatives by the European Union, in particular the financial support linked to the Next Generation EU (NGEU) plan, there are risks associated with the capacity of the Spanish economy to absorb EU funds and translate this support into productive investments. The final magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which has been significant, will depend on future and uncertain events, including the intensity and persistence over time of the consequences arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the different geographies in which the Group operates. Financial institutions are exposed to a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment defined by governments and regulators which may lead to the announcement of new regulations or the imposition of new taxes on banking business, in Spain or in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates (as it is the case of the new tax for banks recently announced in Spain), or higher liquidity and capital requirements, which could influence its growth capacity, the development of certain businesses by financial entities and their 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. 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. 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. Regarding legal risks, the financial sector faces an environment of increasing regulatory and litigious pressure, and thus, the various Group entities are usually party to individual or collective judicial proceedings (including class actions) resulting from their activity and operations, as well as arbitration proceedings. The Group is also party to other government procedures and investigations, such as those carried out by the antitrust authorities in certain countries which, among other things, have in the past and could in the future result in sanctions, as well as lead to claims by customers and others. In addition, the regulatory framework, in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, is evolving towards a supervisory approach more focused on the opening of sanctioning proceedings while some regulators are focusing their attention on consumer protection and behavioral risk. In Spain and in other jurisdictions where the Group operates, legal and regulatory actions and proceedings against financial institutions, prompted in part by certain judgments in favor of consumers handed down by national and supranational courts (with regards to matters such as credit cards and mortgage loans), have increased significantly in recent years and this trend could continue in the future. The legal and regulatory actions and proceedings faced by other financial institutions in relation to these and other matters, especially if such actions or proceedings result in favorable resolutions for the consumer, could also adversely affect the Group. All of the above may result in a significant increase in operating and compliance costs or even a reduction of revenues, and it is possible that an adverse outcome in any proceedings (depending on the amount thereof, the penalties imposed or the procedural or management costs for the Group) could damage the Group's reputation, generate a knock-on effect or otherwise adversely affect the Group. It is difficult to predict the outcome of legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, both those to which the Group is currently exposed and those that may arise in the future, including actions and proceedings relating to former Group subsidiaries or in respect of which the Group may have indemnification obligations. Any of such outcomes could be significantly adverse to the Group. In addition, a decision in any matter, whether against the Group or against another credit entity facing similar claims as those faced by the Group, could give rise to other claims against the Group. In addition, these actions and proceedings attract resources from the Group and may occupy a great deal of attention on part of the Group's management and employees. As of June 30, 2022, the Group had €620 million in provisions for the proceedings it is facing (included in the line "Provisions for taxes and other legal contingencies" in the consolidated balance sheet) (see Note 23), of which €534 million correspond to legal contingencies and €86 million to tax related matters. However, the uncertainty arising from these proceedings (including those for which no provisions have been made, either because it is not possible to estimate them or for other reasons) makes it impossible to guarantee that the possible losses arising from these proceedings will not exceed, where applicable, the amounts that the Group currently has provisioned and, therefore, could affect the Group's consolidated results in a given period. As a result of the above, legal and regulatory actions and proceedings currently faced by the Group or to which it may become subject in the future or otherwise affected by, individually or in the aggregate, if resolved in whole or in part adversely to the Group's interests, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Spanish judicial authorities are investigating the activities of Centro Exclusivo de Negocios y Transacciones, S.L. (Cenyt). Such investigation includes the provision of services by Cenyt to the Bank. On 29th July, 2019, the Bank was named as an investigated party (investigado) in a criminal judicial investigation (Preliminary Proceeding No. 96/2017 – Piece No. 9, Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court) for alleged facts which could be constitutive of bribery, revelation of secrets and corruption. On February 3, 2020, the Bank was notified by the Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court of the order lifting the secrecy of the proceedings. Certain current and former officers and employees of the Group, as well as former directors have also been named as investigated parties in connection with this investigation. The Bank has been and continues to be proactively collaborating with the Spanish judicial authorities, including sharing with the courts the relevant information obtained in the internal investigation hired by the entity in 2019 to contribute to the clarification of the facts. As of the date of the approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements, no formal accusation against the Bank has been made. This criminal judicial proceeding is at the pre-trial phase. Therefore, it is not possible at this time to predict the scope or duration of such proceeding or any related proceeding or its or their possible outcomes or implications for the Group, including any fines, damages or harm to the Group’s reputation caused thereby. Credit risk arises from the probability that one party to a financial instrument will fail to meet its contractual obligations for reasons of insolvency or inability to pay and cause a financial loss for the other party. The general principles governing credit risk management in the BBVA Group, as well as the credit risk management in the Group as of June 30, 2022 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021. 6.2.1 COVID-19 support measures Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Group offered COVID-19 support measures to its customers (individuals, SMEs and wholesale) in all the geographic areas where it operates, consisting of both deferrals on existing loans and new public-guaranteed lending. These measures were extended to individual customers and, in the case of legal entities, to different sectors, with Leisure and Real Estate being the sectors that have used them most. Deferral support schemes have expired in all geographical areas. With regard to new government-guaranteed loans, the Group’s involvement in Spain and Peru is noteworthy: Spain: – The Official Credit Institute (ICO by its Spanish acronym) published several support programs aimed at the self-employed, small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter "SMEs") and companies, through which a guarantee of between 60% and 80% (in SMEs always 80%) for a term of up to 5 years was granted to new loans (RDL Mar/2020). – The amount of the guarantee and its term were based on the size of the company and the type of support, being eligible to an extension of the expiry date up to a maximum of 3 additional years and of the grace period up to 12 additional months with respect to the terms and grace periods initially agreed (RDL Nov/2020). – Likewise, facilities were provided in term extensions (up to a maximum term of 10 years), in the conversion of financing transactions into Participative Loans and acquaintances of part of the financing (RDL 5/2021 and the Code of Best Practices). – In March, 2022, the Council of Ministers agreed to modify the Code of Best Practices to lessen access conditions given the difficulties of clients, which are facing sharp increases in costs due to their special exposure to tensions in the prices of energy and other raw materials. – As an additional measure of the Code of Best Practices, the Council of Ministers has approved the agreement to establish the possibility of term extensions of ICO financing given to self-employed and companies, after June 30, 2022, after the expiry of the Temporary Framework of state support approved by the European Commission European Commission. Peru: – There were public support programs such as Reactiva, Crecer or FAE aimed at companies and micro-enterprises with secured amounts ranging from 60% to 98%, depending on the program and the type of company. – Through a Decree published in May, for loans granted under the Reactiva program, both the maturity and grace period of such loans could be extended. Until December 31, 2022, the possibility to benefit from this measure exists. New government-guaranteed financing was also granted in Turkey, Colombia and Argentina. The outstanding balance of existing loans for which a payment deferral was granted (split by those existing at end of the period and those that were completed by period-end closing) under EBA standards and for which financing was granted with public guarantees given at a Group level, as well as the number of customers of both measures, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are as follows: Amount of payment deferrals and financing with public guarantees of the Group (Millions of Euros) Payment deferrals Financing with public guarantees Existing Completed Total Number of customers Total Number of customers Total payment deferrals and guarantees (%) credit investment June 2022 — 19,998 19,998 1,940,865 16,032 254,945 36,030 9.4 % December 2021 189 21,743 21,931 2,188,720 16,093 264,809 38,025 10.9 % Amount of payment deferral and financing with public guarantees (Millions of Euros) Payment deferrals Financing with public guarantees Existing Completed Total June December June December June December June December Group — 189 19,998 21,743 19,998 21,931 16,032 16,093 Customers — 107 14,310 14,904 14,310 15,011 1,515 1,376 Of which: Mortgages — 97 10,191 10,195 10,191 10,291 6 6 SMEs — 44 3,528 3,950 3,528 3,994 11,115 10,911 Non-financial corporations — 37 2,044 2,766 2,044 2,803 3,381 3,788 Other — — 116 122 116 122 21 18 Amount of payment deferrals by stages (Millions of Euros) Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Total June December June December June December June December Group 12,584 13,236 4,489 6,252 2,925 2,444 19,998 21,931 Customers 9,127 9,167 3,222 3,707 1,961 2,137 14,310 15,011 Of which: Mortgages 6,599 6,360 2,179 2,444 1,413 1,487 10,191 10,291 SMEs 2,530 2,609 745 1,131 253 254 3,528 3,994 Non-financial corporations 832 1,364 500 1,387 712 53 2,044 2,803 Other 94 95 23 27 — — 116 122 In accordance with IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, the BBVA Group’s credit risk exposure by headings in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is provided below.

(****) The amount of the accumulated impairment includes the provisions recorded for credit risk over the remaining expected lifetime of purchased financial instruments. Those provisions were determined at the moment of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) and were originated mainly in the acquisition of Catalunya Banc S.A.
