  "account": "Santander expects to make a profit of over 15,000 million this year. The bank's CEO, Héctor Grisi, stated that the group generates capital well and will decide on its distribution, possibly through buybacks or extra dividends, at a later time. By the end of 2027, Santander will assess potential returns of excess capital to shareholders if it exceeds 13% of its operational range. If no suitable investment opportunities arise, the bank may return capital to shareholders, with the board making decisions based on 2027 results.",
  "summary": "Capital generation is one of the things Santander does well, the CEO says, stressing that the group will decide in due course whether to carry out the distribution through buybacks or extra dividends. The bank expects to make more than 15,000 million this year.",
