ABN Amro NV fell in Amsterdam trading after reporting its lowest income from lending in six years and giving a cautious outlook for the economy and a return to paying dividends.

Net interest income declined to 1.47 billion euros ($1.7 billion) in the third quarter, the least since 2014, as its corporate loan book shrank and new mortgages slowed, the Amsterdam-based lender said in a statement on Wednesday. The shares declined as much as 6%.
