Banco Sabadell, Intesa Sanpaolo and ING Bank reported largest quarterly increases

Aggregate CVA risk-weighted assets (RWAs) across 23 banks analysed by Risk Quantum reached €37 billion ($38.4 billion) at end-September, up 6% quarter on quarter and 15% since the start of the year. Within the top quartile, increases over these periods averaged 27% and 59%.
