Algemene vergadering

CEO Philippine Risch reflected on the solid results of 2024. In anticipation of the new strategy for 2026–2028, Risch explained the direction she is taking BNG in. BNG will remain the reliable, affordable and available financier of the public sector in the Netherlands. They will also take a step forward with the aim of enhancing their profile as the linking pin that shapes and finances solutions to the major challenges facing the Netherlands. Key themes in this regard are accelerating an affordable energy transition with a focus on heating networks, solving the shortage of – preferably sustainable – social and mid-market rented homes and making public real estate such as educational institutions and hospital buildings more sustainable.

CFO Olivier Labe presented BNG’s annual figures. The total long-term loan portfolio reached a record amount of EUR 93 billion at the end of 2024, supported by the bank's excellent access to international capital markets. The net profit for 2024 amounted to EUR 294 million. This while the bank remains highly liquid and capital efficient, which is essential in today's uncertain market conditions.

Dividend proposal adopted

BNG proposed distributing 50% of the available profit after tax and compensation deductions for providers of hybrid capital as dividends, consistent with its dividend policy. This equates to a total dividend of EUR 140 million and a dividend per share of EUR 2.51. This proposal was adopted by the shareholders at the General Meeting.
