Recompense record de 228 miliarde de euro pentru acţionarii companiilor europene din sectorul financiar - Economica.net

European banks and financial companies are set to distribute a record €228 billion to shareholders this year, marking a 13% increase from last year. This rise is attributed to strong earnings in the second half of the year. Major banks like HSBC and Banco Santander are expected to account for about €54 billion of the total rewards. Despite this growth, analysts note that revenue increases remain a challenge for European financial firms. The financial sector is projected to be the largest contributor to earnings growth in the MSCI Europe index this year and next, benefiting from higher interest rates and AI implementation.
