Norway's Equinor is reducing its ambitions for developing renewable energy capacity by 2030, it said on Wednesday, the latest move by a European energy company to cut green targets as the market for renewables sours.

Santander announces 10 billion euros in buybacks after record profits

The bank's fourth-quarter net profit rose 11% year-on-year after a solid performance at its retail businesses in Spain and Brazil and higher revenues more than offset a decline in consumer lending, it said on Wednesday. Santander, like other lenders, has benefited from higher interest rates, but growth in its key Latin American markets has given it an edge over more Europe-dependent rivals that have scaled back their presence in the Americas.
