As markets stumble back to growth, ING is making steady progress towards an initial public offering of its Europe-Asia insurance arm. The business returned to the black in 2010 and that growth has continued in 2011, with first-quarter total operating profits rising 35.5% over the same period in 2010 to €561 million, as management has worked to cut costs and improve investment margins.
