Understanding our 2013 Q4 & annual results
Frédéric Oudéa's editorial
2013 provided confirmation of the robustness of Societe Generale’s universal banking model, which was both resilient and a generator of growth, in a still challenging environment. Net banking income amounted to EUR 22.8 billion, an increase of +4.3% compared with 2012. The cost savings plan already helped secure EUR 350 million in 2013. Group net income amounted to EUR 2.2 billion and virtually trebled compared with 2012.
