The EAA’s economic situation in the first half of 2026 was largely determined by its wind-up mission.

The EAA’s economic situation in the first quarter of 2026 was largely determined by its wind-up mission.

The EAA’s key control variable is the decline in the notional volumes of the banking book and the trading portfolio. The notional volume of the banking book fell 6.1% to EUR 4.6 billion. The notional volume of the trading portfolio declined by 5.6% to EUR 40.3 billion during the same period.

The results after taxes of EUR -2.1 million are characterised in particular by general adminis trative expenses of EUR 23.6 million, the net fee and commission result of EUR -10.0 million and the balance of other expenses and income of EUR -0.6 million. This is offset by the net interest result of EUR 17.7 million, the results from  financial assets and shareholdings and from loan loss provisions, which together amount to EUR 12.4 million and the net trading result of EUR 2.0 million.

The EAA’s total assets declined from EUR 10.8 billion in the previous year to EUR 10.3 billion. The business volume, which also includes off-balance-sheet components, decreased by 4.9% to EUR 10.9 billion (previous year: EUR 11.5 billion).
