During his address to the Confederation of Businessmen of Córdoba (CECO), Ruiz de Gordejuela emphasized that Kutxabank does not consider itself an “occasional or opportunistic” entity, but rather a benchmark with a clear vocation for maintaining long-term relationships with the business and institutional fabric of the region.
“"We are not an occasional or opportunistic entity. Our vocation is to maintain a long-term relationship."
The CEO highlighted the financial group's triple commitment: to Córdoba, where they hold historical leadership; to businesses, through a strategic approach and long-term support; and to Andalusia, through an investment commitment for growth. He stressed that, although they are not the largest entity, they are the most solid.
In terms of figures, Kutxabank's corporate banking credit investment reached 660 million euros in 2025, representing a 10% increase compared to 2024. Institutional deposits multiplied by 1.8 in 2025, exceeding 1.500 million euros. The entity has also participated in initiatives to promote the regional productive fabric, such as collaboration with Reciprocal Guarantee Societies (SGRs) in 200 operations for nearly 20 million euros in 2025, facilitating access to credit for SMEs and freelancers under better terms and interest rates.
Furthermore, Kutxabank has supported over 13,000 PACs for the agricultural sector and more than 6,000 projects through the Andalusian Technological Corporation. The entity also promotes subsidized housing and social projects through its foundations. For the third time, it has participated in the sustainable debt issuance of the Junta de Andalucía, reaffirming its involvement in key regional projects.
In Córdoba, Kutxabank is a leader with a market share in deposits of 41%, and in payrolls and pensions of 35% and 56% respectively. Its credit share is 26%, mortgages 27%, and investment funds are close to 35%. In 2024, the group's activity contributed 4,556 million euros to Andalusia's GDP, representing 2.3%. In the province of Córdoba, the impact was 1,781 million euros, 10.6% of the provincial GDP. The entity allocated 59 million euros to payments to suppliers in Andalusia, of which 35 million corresponded to Cordovan companies.
