FINANCIAL RESULTS

Full-year and fourth quarter 2018 results
"After this first year in the execution of our 3-year plan, we have confirmed our long-term strategic ambition. We successfully achieved several major milestones in our transformation during 2018. The digital transformation process continued with success and there was considerable progress in the growth initiatives n French and International Retail Banking, as well as Financing & Advisory. However, market activities experienced a more mixed performance, below our expectations. In an economic, financial and regulatory environment that looks set to be less favourable and even more complex over the next few years than anticipated a year ago, we have decided to adapt the execution of our plan and our financial trajectory.”
Frédéric Oudéa, Chief Executive Officer
