Chairman's statement 
"Our performance in the first half of 2006 reflects the initial benefits of making available the global product capabilities of the BU Global Markets to all our consumer and commercial clients in the regions, which led to a solid increase in revenues, continuing the positive momentum in revenue growth. For the second half of 2006, we will continue to work hard on realising all our stated priorities for the year. The successful execution of the management priorities so far, has generated a capital surplus which enables us to announce today a new share buy-back programme of EUR 750 mln, in addition to the EUR 600 mln share buy-back that we completed in the first half of this year. As indicated previously, we will also neutralise the 2006 interim stock dividend."
