BNP Paribas CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé said: “With net income up at 1.9 billion euros, BNP Paribas delivered a good performance this quarter.

“Thanks to its integrated and diversified business model serving its customers, it reported good growth in the revenues of the operating divisions despite the low interest rate environment.

“The cost of risk was significantly lower. The Group’s balance sheet is rock-solid and the further increase in the fully loaded Basel 3 common equity Tier 1 ratio to 11.4% testifies the solid capital generation.”
