Banco Santander SA (STD) said Thursday that the bailout of Portugal will have no significant impact on its local unit Santander Totta.

"The changed outlook that could result from the rescue plan requested by the Portuguese government would have no material impact on the group," Santander said in a press release.

It said Totta's net profit fell 34% on the year in the first quarter, to EUR90 million. The unit holds EUR1.6 billion in Portuguese public debt, contributes 3% to group profit and amounts to 4% of Santander's overall portfolio, the bank said.
