Fourth Quarter Financial Performance: ING Groep reported a fourth-quarter profit before tax of €1.77 billion, down 21.2% from the previous year, with net profit falling to €1.15 billion due to increased operating expenses and higher loan loss provisions.
Customer Growth and Economic Outlook: The bank expanded its mobile customer base by 434,000 in the quarter, while core lending and deposits grew significantly; however, it remains cautious about 2025 due to economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks.
