Major developments in the first half of 1997

    Results improved strongly compared to the already excellent
figures for the first half of 1996, reflecting continued organic
growth and changes in average currency rates, particularly a stronger
U.S. dollar against the Dutch guilder.  The composition of the banks
operations also changed as a result of the sale of MeesPierson, which
is included only in the banks 1996 results, and a number of
acquisitions, especially in the USA.  The bank strengthened its
position in the midwestern United States by acquiring Standard
Federal Bancorp (a savings bank) and Chicago Corporation (an
investment bank).  Both acquisitions have been consolidated as of
January 1, 1997.  European acquisitions included the Magyar Hitel
Bank in Hungary (acquired at the end of 1996) and two small French
banks, Banque Demachy and Banque du Phenix, both of which were
acquired on June 30, 1997.
    Total revenue increased 21.8% to NLG 11,359 million.  Adjusted
for acquisitions, the sale of MeesPierson and higher average exchange
rates, the increase was 19.0%.
    Net interest revenue rose 20.0% to NLG 6,702 million.  The
International Division posted a very strong gain in net interest
revenue (+50.6% to NLG 3,714) reflecting the acquisitions of Standard
Federal Bancorp and Magyar Hitel Bank, higher average exchange rates
and organic growth, particularly in the US and Brazil.  The Domestic
Division recorded an increase in net interest revenue of 9.0% as a
strong increase in average volumes offset a slightly lower interest
margin.
    Revenue from securities and participating interests rose by NLG
98 million to NLG 238 million, partly as a result of the sale of a
number of minority interests.
    Net commissions rose by NLG 506 million (+ 20.5%) to NLG 2,980
million.  Nearly 50% of this increase was attributable to securities
commissions, which were up NLG 244 million (+18.3%) to
NLG1,577million.  Adjusted for the deconsolidation of MeesPierson,
securities commissions were up 41.1%.  This improvement reflected the
strong increase in brokerage fees, both in the Netherlands and
abroad, and the substantial growth in asset management fees.  The
increase in payment commissions (+9.5% to NLG726 million) was
realized entirely by the International Division.  In the Domestic
Division, payment commissions were comparable to those reported
during the first half of 1996.
    Revenue from financial transactions increased by NLG 301 million
(+33.3%) to NLG 1,205 million.  Adjusted for the deconsolidation of
MeesPierson, revenues from financial transactions increased 53.9%
reflecting a doubling of revenue from derivatives trading,
considerably higher results from the sale of participations and an
improvement of more than 20% in foreign exchange and securities
trading results.
    Operating expenses (the total of staff costs, other
administrative expenses and depreciation) were up 23.7 % to NLG 7,586
million.  Adjusted for acquisitions, the disposition of MeesPierson
and the changes in average exchange rates, operating expenses
increased 21.7%.  The principal reasons for this increase were strong
organic growth, higher bonuses - primarily abroad - and provisions
for a number of specific items such as the introduction of the euro
and several automation projects.  The total cost to the bank of the
introduction of the euro is estimated at NLG 500 million of which NLG
375 million is for the adaptation of computer systems.  A provision
of NLG 65 million was made in the first half of 1997, bringing the
total provision to the required NLG 375 million.  The implementation
of the euro-project has started.
    As the increase in total operating expenses (+23.7% to NLG 7,586
million) was higher than the increase in total revenue (+21.8% to NLG
11,359 million), the bank's efficiency ratio deteriorated slightly in
the first half of 1997 to 66.8% compared with 65.7% during the same
period in 1996.
    In the first half of 1996, the provision for loan losses,
including the allocation to the provision for general contingencies,
amounted to NLG 700 million.  In the first half of 1997, the
provision for loan losses amounted to NLG 492 million while a pre-tax
amount of NLG 158 million was also added to the Fund for general
banking risks.  Together, these two items add up to NLG 650 million.
The size of the Fund has increased by NLG 299 million from NLG 2,000
million at the end of 1996 to NLG 2,299 million as at June 30, 1997
(+15%).  This increase is in line with the rise in the total risk
weighted assets and is the net result from the addition to the Fund
after taxes (+ NLG 103 million), currency translation differences
(+NLG121million) and the effects of acquisitions (+ NLG 75 million).
Pre-tax profit was 25.1 % higher at NLG 3,123 million.  The positive
contribution from acquisitions and the deconsolidation of MeesPierson
amounted to NLG 71 million.  In addition, higher average exchange
rates contributed NLG 133 million to pre-tax profit.  The banks
international operations contributed almost half of total pre-tax
profits, compared to 49% for the first half of 1996.
    The effective tax rate for the first half of 1997 increased to
31.0%, compared to 29.4% for the same period in 1996.  The foreign
tax rate increased because EAB's tax loss carry forwards have been
fully utilized and a higher contribution from Brazil.  In the
Netherlands, the effective tax rate decreased slightly, as a larger
percentage of domestic profits were subject to the participation
exemption.
    Net profit improved by 20.2% to NLG 2 ,038 million.  After taking
into account preference share and convertible preference share
dividends, profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was 21.5%
higher at NLG1,946million.  The net contribution to profits from
acquisitions and the deconsolidation of MeesPierson was NLG 27
million.  In addition, higher average exchange rates contributed
NLG89 million to net profit.
    The average number of ordinary shares outstanding increased by
3.2% to 1,374 million.  Taking this increase into account, earnings
per ordinary share were up 18.3% to NLG 1.42.

Balance sheet as at June 30, 1997, compared to the balance sheet
as at December 31, 1996

    Consolidated total assets at June 30, 1997 were to NLG 782.3
billion, up NLG 183.0 billion or 30.5% from year-end 1996.  This
increase is the combined result of organic growth (NLG 117.6 billion
or 18.7%), acquisitions (NLG 34.7 billion), and the net effect of
changes in exchange rates (NLG30.7billion).  The US dollar/Dutch
guilder exchange rate rose from NLG 1.74 at year-end 1996, to NLG
1.97 at the end of June 1997.
    Private sector loans increased NLG 103.1 billion or 32.7% to NLG
418.6 billion for the first half of 1997.  Of this increase, NLG 44.3
billion relates to short-term advances against securities, primarily
outside of the Netherlands.  Other private sector lending increased
by NLG 58.9 billion or 19.8% to NLG356.6billion, of which NLG10.2
billion were originated in the Netherlands (+6.5%) and NLG48.6billion
outside of the Netherlands (+34.6%).  In the Netherlands, retail
lending showed a particularly strong increase (+10.3%) while
corporate lending grew by 3.3%.  The strong growth abroad resulted
from higher loan volume (NLG 11.4 billion or 7.4%) primarily in the
US and Brazil, acquisitions (NLG 24.4 billion) and the translation
effect of higher exchange rates (NLG12.8billion).
    In the first half of 1997, customer accounts increased by NLG
80.3 billion or 29.0% to NLG357.0billion.  Of this increase NLG 7.2
billion (+4.6%) was realized in the Netherlands while NLG 73.1
billion (+61.1%) was realized abroad.  Adjusted for acquisitions (NLG
25.9 billion) and the effect of higher exchange rates (NLG 11.0
billion), the increase in customer accounts abroad was 27.7%.

    Compared to year-end 1996, shareholders' equity declined by NLG
127 million to NLG 24,849 million.  An increase of NLG 2,389 million
from retained profits, currency translation differences,
revaluations, exercise of staff options and the conversion of
convertible preference shares was offset by a substantial goodwill
write-off (NLG 2,516 million), which largely resulted from the
acquisition of Standard Federal Bancorp.
    The increase in minority interests primarily resulted from the
issue of preference shares (U.S.dollar 975 million) by the banks US
subsidiaries and currency translation effects of a stronger U.S.
dollar.
    Entitlement under staff option programs amounted to 18.2
million ordinary shares as at June 30, 1997, which is equivalent to
1.3% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding.
Approximately 76% of these staff options were awarded to the bank's
staff in the Netherlands and 24% to senior management (approximately
100 persons in the Netherlands and abroad).

--------------------------------------------------------------------

    The increase in risk weighted assets (+16.3%) was largely
attributable to activities abroad.  Adjusted for acquisitions and
changes in exchange rates, the increase in risk weighted asset
amounted to 7.0%.  As a result of the goodwill write-off previously
described, the increase in Tier I capital was lower than the increase
in risk weighted assets.

    Results by Division

    ABN AMRO Bank, including its many subsidiaries, is divided into
three operating divisions: the Domestic Division, the International
Division and the IB&GC Division (Investment Banking & Global
Clients).  The operating costs of the supporting divisions are
allocated to the three operating divisions.  ABN AMRO Lease Holding
operates as an independent subsidiary of the bank.
    Through 1996, the `provision for loan losses' related to specific
provisions for loan losses (including country risks) and pre-tax
provisions for general contingencies (VAR).  For reporting purposes,
the overall `provision for loan losses' was subsequently allocated to
the divisions on the basis of the risk weighted assets.  The interim
results for 1997 mark the introduction of a change in this respect.
As of June 30, 1997, the provision for loan losses relates only to
specific provisions for loan losses (including country risks), with
the actual amounts shown for each division.  In light of the general
nature of the Fund for general banking risks, additions to the Fund
are not allocated to the divisions.  Accordingly, the divisional
pre-tax operating results for the first half of 1997 are not directly
comparable to pre-tax operating results for the same period in 1996.
The same applies within the International Division for operating
results at regional level.

    Pre-tax profit increased by NLG 253 million or 35.6% to NLG 963
million.  Before the provision for loan losses the increase in
pre-tax profit was 21.3%.  The rise in total revenue (+9.8%) is the
result of a solid increase in interest and commission revenue.  The
increase in interest revenue is the result of higher volumes which
offset a slight contraction of the interest margin.  The higher
commission revenue is largely the result of a strong increase in
securities commissions.  The banks insurance activities also have
grown strongly.  Net premium income at the bank's life insurance
subsidiary rose by 72% to NLG406 million in the first half of 1997.
Operating expenses increased by 5.1% due to a small rise in staff
costs and a strong increase in other administrative expenses, largely
caused by automation costs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pre-tax profit increased by NLG 640 million or 70.3% to NLG 1,550
million.  Adjusted for the acquisitions of Standard Federal Bancorp
and Magyar Hitel Bank and higher exchange rates, pre-tax profits
increased 25.4%, while the increases in total revenue and total
operating expenses amounted to 27.2% and 30.4%, respectively.
    The growth in interest revenue (+50.6%) was to a great extent
influenced by the acquisitions of Standard Federal Bancorp and Magyar
Hitel Bank and higher exchange rates.  Commission revenues increased
strongly in part as a result of the acquisition of Chicago
Corporation.  The markedly higher results from financial transactions
were caused by higher revenues from foreign currencies and securities
trading activities.
    The 60% rise in operating expenses was made up of a 56.6%
increase in personnel expenses and a 62.5% increase in other
administrative expenses and depreciation.  The number of employees
rose by 6,505, of which 5,600 was by virtue of acquisitions.
    Within Europe, pre-tax profits increased by NLG 135 million (+
97.1%) to NLG 274 million.  The largest increases occurred in France,
Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium, where results benefited from
favorable financial markets.  Central and Eastern European operations
generated higher pre-tax profits, although Magyar Hitel Bank posted a
small loss as a result of substantial expenditures involved in
modernizing the bank.
    In North America, pre-tax profits rose by NLG 319 million or
64.1% to NLG 817 million.  A large part of this increase was due to
the acquisition of Standard Federal.  The results of the LaSalle
Group, EAB and the US-based ABN AMRO branches experienced strong
growth while Chicago Corporation experienced a small loss as a result
of additional costs associated with the expansion of its business
activities.  The results of the ABN AMRO branches in Canada and
Mexico were lower.
    In South and Central America, pre-tax profit rose by NLG 92
million or 55.1% to NLG 259 million.  Although the interest margin on
retail lending narrowed in Brazil, this was more than compensated for
by a doubling of lending volumes.  Contrary to 1996, no provision was
made in the first half of 1997 for a devaluation of the Brazilian
Real.  Other countries in the region also showed stronger results,
particularly Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
    In the Middle and Far East, Africa and Australia pre-tax profits
rose by NLG 94 million 88.7% to NLG200 million.  Substantially higher
interest revenue in Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia and India
contributed to markedly higher pre-tax profits.

    Pre-tax profit increased 9.0% to NLG 654 million, which was
entirely caused by the provision for loan losses being allocated to
the division on the basis of risk weighted assets in the first half
of 1996, while in the first half of 1997 the real provisions were
shown (release of country risk provisions).  Pre-tax profits prior to
the provision for loan losses declined by 9.2% due to an increase in
the Netherlands and a fall abroad.  The increase in commission
revenue was due to higher brokerage commissions and asset management
fees.  The growth in results from financial transactions was
primarily due to higher revenue from the sale of participating
interests and derivatives trading.  The marked increase in operating
expenses resulted from higher bonuses, an increase in head-count and
high automation expenses as a result of new activities.  The
performance of the ABN AMRO Rothschild joint venture, which was
started in July 1996, exceeded expectations.
