    Question

    Cecilia Romero Reyes from Barclays asked about the ECB deposit rate assumption underpinning the 2025 NII outlook, whether NII sensitivity has changed, and the expected timing of the 2024 bank tax payment.

    Answer

    Gonzalo Gortázar Rotaeche (executive) stated that the company does not see a real risk of two bank tax payments in one year, as all parties want to avoid that outcome.

He also clarified that recent ALCO actions were taken to maintain, not reduce, the bank's NII sensitivity target.
