Growth in Our Customer ‘Sweet Spot’

Where we are advantaged and profitable

– Consumer: PC/Mass Affluent Clients

– Commercial: SMEs, Mid-large corporates & FIs

through…

Client-led strategy based on Local Intimacy

Geographic distribution model

and…

Value driven through working as ‘One Bank’

World-class products

International Network capabilities

Spreading of successful formulas

High quality and more efficient Services

Advantaged model:

Using local client intimacy while delivering additional value by leveraging our global capabilities in products / services

Growth opportunity example for the Commercial Client Segment: Regional Treasury Desk (RTD) (1)

The bedrock of this RTD in the Netherlands is a single distribution model which incorporates two components; a Local Multi-Product Sales force in each region and a Hubbed Product Marketing and Development team, both of which report into the same functional Global Markets sales head. This promotes:

Shared Ambition – Common goals /shared P&L (Client and Product BU)

Trust and Teamwork – Integrated Sales and Product Marketing/Development team

Link with Relationship Banking – Product MBOs given to Bankers and a reporting link from the Product Sales to the Client BU (secondary)

Product Development for Smaller Clients – Focus on standardized products for a smaller client segment

Greater Efficiency – Greater use of electronic product delivery

Page 7: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

7

Growth opportunity example for the Commercial Client Segment: Regional Treasury Desk (2)

Since inception in 2002 the RTD’s have more than doubled the Treasury revenue from Commercial Clients with a step change in 2005.

Following initial investigation we will commence RTD initiatives outside of The Netherlands

Early 2006: India, Brazil

Later in the year: France

Once the Banca Antonveneta acquisition process is finalised, we plan to make this service available to our Italian clients

The revenue delta from this simple structure replication could be in excess of EUR 50 mln

Page 8: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

Growth opportunity example for the Consumer Client Segment: Preferred Banking

Preferred Banking was first invented and rolled out in India. Later it was introduced in Greater China, Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Netherlands and currently in North America

The Preferred Banking offer to Mass Affluent clients leverages the bank’s global strengths and local client intimacy

Mass Affluent clients have attractive demographics in all markets

Sophisticated global products have market appeal

Based on personalised service and distinctive branding

Shared best practices for relationship management

Common standards and practices for roll-out

Consumer Client Segment: strong Preferred Banking growth in Brazil

58,000 new Mass Affluent clients in

2005

Unbundling will deliver continued performance improvement

Opening up WCS to the Group will

result in greater leverage of wholesale

banking products across a wider set of

clients

The unbundling will contribute to a

continued improvement in the efficiency

ratio

Arm’s length interaction between Global

Markets and the Client Units will

increase the transparency of each

product’s economics

Performance commitments for Global Clients, Global Markets and Commercial Clients

Capital constraint and minimum returns for Global Clients

– RWAs on average less than 10% of Group total by end 2006 and beyond, with a

return above our 10.5% assumed cost of equity

Improved efficiency ratio for Global Markets

– improving by at least 5 percentage points in 2006, and below 80% by end 2008

Improved efficiency ratio for commercial clients in 2006

– to be achieved through revenue uplift and tight cost control in the Regional Client

Units

Page 13: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

What are we doing in 2006 to improve former WCS results?

Following through on our revenue growth initiatives facilitated by the new organisation, in

particular Derivatives, Equities and Fixed Income

– the products of Global Markets are now driven and distributed by the Regional Client Units

– continue the improvements we have made with Global Clients through more focused

coverage

– bring capital markets solutions to a broader range of clients and increase our capital velocity

Following through on cost reduction initiatives in the new Services organisation

– deliver further savings through continued outsourcing, procurement and real estate

programmes

– fund investment in growth initiatives, IT infrastructure, and compliance

Arm’s length interaction between Global Markets and the Client Units will increase the

transparency of each product’s economics

– clarity on which products we can consistently deliver at the right price and the right quality to

our sweet spot clients

– for products that do not meet this standard, we will pursue alternative solutions, potentially

including exit, downsizing, joint ventures, in-sourcing

Case Study: Derivatives Step Change

We have invested in derivatives product

development, sales, marketing and

coverage:

– New hires and re-aligning skills for our

current staff

– Spreading derivatives literacy across

WCS and related support functions

Formed Derivatives Sales & Solutions

Group to drive sales capability

Upgraded risk processes and improved

IT infrastructure

Case study:Restricting business-as-usual costs

Since 2001, we have reduced our

business-as-usual services and other

support costs to free up investment in

front office staff and services investment

We announced a restructuring in

December 2004 aimed at exiting 1,100

FTEs, which will be completed in Q1

2006

This has freed up resources for

investment in Derivatives, in IT to

upgrade trading infrastructure (EUR 95

mln), and in mandatory compliance

activities (Basel II, Sarbanes Oxley, etc.,

EUR 75 mln)

3. Realise synergies from integration of Banca Antonveneta

Page 17: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

17

Antonveneta: unique opportunity to grow profitably ABN AMRO’s mid-market footprint

Acquisition has strong growth potential

– Northern Italy: one of the wealthiest areas in Europe with low penetration rate for banking products

– Antonveneta is a profitable franchise with untapped growth potential

– Increase ABN AMRO’s European mid-market footprint

ABN AMRO brings extensive skills to Banca Antonveneta

– superior credit skills

– cost management and efficiency platform

– extensive product suite

Cost synergies program of EUR 160 mln by 2007 on track

– 50% of cost synergies will be realised in 2006

– ABN AMRO expects to use less than the previously indicated EUR 200 mln restructuring costs

BAPV will release its 2005 numbers later today

Page 18: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

18

Where do we currently stand in the offer process for BAPV

ABN AMRO started the mandatory offer for all Banca Antonveneta shares on 27

February 2006, the offer period ends on 31 March 2006. ABN AMRO will pay

EUR 26.50 per share for each Banca Antonveneta ordinary share to be

purchased through the offer

ABN AMRO currently owns 77.7% of shares in Banca Antonveneta and 6.1%

has been tendered into the offer to date

If ABN AMRO owns more than 91% but not more than 98% of Banca

Antonveneta’s share capital after the offering period, ABN AMRO must launch a

residual offer. Completion of the residual offer will lead to a de-listing of the

Banca Antonveneta shares

If ABN AMRO owns more than 98% of Banca Antonveneta’s share capital after

a tender/mandatory offer, ABN AMRO can exercise the Squeeze-out Right

ABN AMRO will provide an update on the integration of Banca Antonveneta later

this year when the transaction is completed and the integration is underway

Examples of progress of GSS initiatives

Outsourcing:

At the end of last year we announced that contracts with a total value of EUR 1.8 bln have been signed with selected vendors:

– IBM for IT Infrastructure

– Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for Application Support and

Enhancements

– five preferred vendors have been chosen for Application Development:

Accenture, IBM, Infosys, Patni and TCS

Real Estate Track:

In the first quarter of 2006 the consolidation of the office accommodation in Sao Paulo was completed. The Sao Paulo City plan involved the relocation of 10,000 people and consolidation of 7 buildings down to 2

5. Strict capital discipline

Page 24: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

24

Focus on capital discipline

We will selectively grow Risk Weighted Assets in attractive mid-market growth areas, whilst continuing to look at opportunities to securitise Risk Weighted Assets

ABN AMRO has an active approach to selling non-core assets

– sale of 40% in K&H

– intended sale of Bouwfonds

– further opportunities are being looked into

We will further improve our capital ratios

Page 25: 2006 Managing Board Priorities

25

Strong focus on ongoing operations will create room for share buy backs in 2006

Capital ratios (end of December 2005) ABN AMRO has strong capital ratios

With 60% ownership of BAPV the Tier I ratio

would have been 8.7% and the core tier I ratio

would have been 6.8%

ABN AMRO is committed to have a core tier 1

ratio of 6% and a tier 1 ratio of 8% well before

the end of 2006

ABN AMRO will resume the neutralisation of

the stock dividend with effect from the interim

stock dividend of 2006

ABN AMRO will also buy back EUR 600 mln of

its own shares in H1 06. As per 20 March 2006,

EUR 80.3 mln had been bought back at an

average price of 24.13

A succesful execution of the 2006 priorities will

generate a capital surplus which will create

room for additional share buy backs in H2 2006
