ING
About: The merger of the Dutch postal bank and NN Insurance in 1991 created ING. Through a series of further acquisitions ING build up a global footprint. The 2008 financial crisis forced ING to seek government support—a precondition of which was that ING should separate its banking and insurance activities, which saw ING revert to being solely a bank. ING has market-leading banking operations in the Netherlands and Belgium, and a range of digital banks across Europe and Australia. Its global wholesale banking operation is primarily focused on lending.

ING Groep: An Ambitious ROE Target Of Over 14% For 2027
If we exclude the volatile Other income category, ING Groep relies on net interest income for 79% of its revenues - a key concern during ECB monetary policy normalization. Lower NII and a normalizing cost of risk resulted in ING reporting a return on equity of 13% in 2024, below the exceptional 14.8% result in 2023. The bank's ROE is forecast at above 12% in 2025, impacted by higher costs and the ongoing effects of ECB rate cuts on NII.
