Credem: spread

Industry: spread

NII reached approximately €285 million, stable compared to 1Q24, thanks to a better trend in average volumes and a smaller decline in the customer spread

The customer spread slightly reduced for both Credem and the Industry, due to a higher repricing of the average deposit rate (+6 bps Credem vs +3 bps Industry) compared to that of loans (Credem +4 bps vs 0 bps Industry)
