(MENAFN- AFP) Santander, the eurozone's biggest bank by market value, said on Thursday its profits jumped by more than a third in the second quarter as its ratio of risky assets eased.
The Spanish banking giant posted a quarterly net profit of 1.45 billion euros ($1.94 billion), its highest in the past two years and a 38-percent jump compared to the outcome in the same period in 2013.
The group also said its ratio of high-risk loans - mostly bad real estate assets left over from the crash - had been brought down to 5.45 percent.
