BBVA is well positioned to take advantage of the new industry environment through its strengths:
1. It has a well-diversified geographic footprint supported by dominant franchises in key markets like Mexico, Spain, and Turkey.
2. It has the ability to generate capital organically, as demonstrated by maintaining resilient profits even during economic downturns.
3. It is leading the change in regulation by already meeting higher capital requirements under Basel III, positioning it well for further regulation.
