By GlobalDataBNP Paribas CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé said: “In a complex and changing environment, BNP Paribas delivered again a good performance this quarter thanks to its integrated and diversified business model serving its customers. Revenues of the operating divisions grew, excluding the foreign exchange effect, despite a still challenging context. Operating expenses were stable and the cost of risk was down significantly.
“The Group’s balance sheet is rock-solid and the further increase in the fully loaded Basel 3 common equity Tier 1 ratio to 11.1% testifies the good organic capital generation.”
