BNG Bank reported a net profit of EUR 101 million for the first half of 2026. Demand for financing rose substantially, with the bank issuing EUR 7.3 billion in new long-term loans, compared to EUR 5.3 billion in the same period last year.
The growth in lending reflects a strong demand for public investment financing, where BNG serves as a key financier for local authorities and public entities in the Netherlands. The bank noted that a higher interest rate environment also contributed to the improved results by increasing interest income, though it also raised funding costs.
BNG continued to execute its strategy focused on financing sustainable development and supporting the public sector. The bank has actively financed projects aimed at climate transition and social welfare.
The results demonstrate BNG's capacity to navigate the current economic climate and meet the growing financing needs of the public sector. The bank anticipates continued growth in the latter half of the year.
