ABN AMRO delivered a good operational performance in the second quarter of 2020. Loan impairments were high again, however, as a result of an exceptional client file, Covid-19 and low oil prices. The bank-wide result for the quarter was a loss of 5 million euros – roughly break-even. The bank is well capitalised, so it is in a good position to absorb the impairments.
