Financial highlights
Resilience in turbulent markets
In 2007, ING results showed resilience in turbulent markets with limited direct impact of the credit and liquidity crisis. Profits were boosted by capital gains on equities and low risk costs, mitigated by lower revaluations of real estate and private equity. ING delivered robust commercial growth and improved returns. Costs remained under control while we invested in new growth opportunities. ING proposes to increase total dividend by 12% to EUR 1.48 per share, to be paid fully in cash.
