Financial Results

3rd Quarter 2019 Results
"Once again this quarter, we have achieved results very much in line with our objectives and priorities. In terms of capital, there was a further substantial increase in the CET1 ratio to 12.5%. The cost of risk remained low for all the businesses, reflecting the quality of the loan portfolio. Societe Generale has confirmed its role as a committed and responsible player and leading international bank in terms of financing the energy transition. The Group, with the strong commitment of its teams, is confident of its ability to deliver, in an ever more restrictive environment in Europe.” Frédéric Oudéa, Chief Executive Officer
