Patrick Flynn to present at Macquarie Financials conference

Amsterdam, 22 November 2011

Today, ING's Chief Financial Officer Patrick Flynn will address the Macquarie Financials conference in Zurich, Switzerland.

In his presentation, Patrick Flynn will demonstrate ING’s track record of delivering on its priorities, including strengthening its financial position, delivering on restructuring and generally building stronger Banking and Insurance organisations, while remaining customer focused.

Mr Flynn will address ING’s progress to meet the restructuring demands of the European Commission.

Additionally, he will reiterate how derisking and strong results have contributed to ING Bank's solid capital position, meeting the most recent capital targets of the European Banking Authority.

Patrick Flynn will finish his presentation by illustrating ING Bank’s strategic position: a liability driven bank that is well positioned for the future, using its strong deposit gathering capability for future growth while managing its balance sheet efficiently through further integration.
