Half-yearly figures BNG 2026: Greater impact through strong growth in public <a href="https://bitcomme.com/sba-communications-sbac-wins-investment-grade-while-profits-slide/” title=”SBA Communications (SBAC) Wins Investment Grade While Profits Slide”>investment
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BNG has realised a net profit of EUR 101 million in the first half of 2026. Demand for financing increased significantly and BNG provided EUR 7.3 billion in new long-term lending, well above the EUR 5.3 billion recorded in the same period of 2025. The Bank also made important progress in implementing its Route to More Added Value strategy, including the successful launch of its green loan for housing associations. Through these efforts, BNG is once again making an essential contribution to addressing public investment challenges in a period of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and volatile financial markets. The net interest income showed healthy growth. Nevertheless, profit declined as a result of a substantial negative result on financial transactions. The capital and liquidity position of the bank has remained strong.

‘Despite increasing global uncertainty, we see that our clients are continuing to invest in the major social challenges facing the Netherlands. Social housing associations are building affordable and sustainable homes, municipalities are continuing their investment agenda and the energy transition continues to require substantial investment from all of our public-sector clients. This is reflected in strong demand for affordable financing and results in growth in our lending, the clearest measure of our social impact’, says CEO Philippine Risch. ‘We are also taking the next step with our strategy ‘Route to More Added Value’. We continue not only to be a reliable financier, but also to provide increasingly strong support to our clients as a knowledge partner and to engage at a much earlier stage in addressing societal challenges. With our new green loan for housing associations, affordability and sustainable outcomes are more closely aligned than ever.’
