The business has grown strongly over the last few years and consequently we are currently establishing an office in New York (subject to regulatory approval). Further evidencing our ambition, BBVA recently announced the purchase (subject to regulatory approval) of the 50% of Altura Markets in Spain that it does not currently own. Altura Markets is the leading broker for listed futures and options in Spain and Portugal.
