HISTORY

BNP Paribas was created in August 1999 through the merger of Banque Nationale de Paris and Paribas. The bank strengthened its position as a through the acquisition of the securities division of AXA Banque in the same year.

In 2000 BNP Paribas completely reorganized its Spanish market by selling off a number of unprofitable branches and consolidating others. This restructuring allowed the group enough finance to launch Global Risk solutions, another subsidiary of the new company, which was designed to aid its own subsidiaries and other companies in decision making within the global marketplace.

In 2001 BNP Paribas Asset Management acquired a majority stake of Overlay Asset Management, a company incorporated in France, specializing in Currency Overlay.

Later in that year, BNP Paribas spent $2.4 billion on buying the 55% of BancWest. During April 2002, BNP Paribas completed the $2.4 billion acquisition of United Bank (UCB). In the same year, BNP Paribas acquired Cogent, the UK investment administration arm of AMP, the Australian based financial services group.

In late 2003, BNP Paribas Peregrine launched a China investment banking business; a joint venture with Wuhan based Changjiang Securities.

In January 2004 Arval PHH, BNP Paribas‟ car rental services subsidiary, acquired 100% of Arma, a company which provides long-term car fleet leasing services, with its main activity in the Netherlands. In March 2004, BancWest Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, acquired Community First Bankshares, a Nasdaq listed company in Western US. BancWest agreed to acquire Union Safe Deposit Bank, the next month.

February 2005 saw the company acquire 50% of the which controls the bank Turk Ekonomi Bankasi (TEB). In the following month, Atisreal UK, a BNP Paribas subsidiary, acquired part of the former Chesterton business. In April 2005, ABN AMRO and BNP Paribas announced that they had entered into an agreement whereby BNP Paribas Private Bank would acquire Nachenius, Tjeenk, an exclusive Dutch private bank, from ABN AMRO. In the very next month, the company acquired the Pacific equity execution business of Calyon, Credit Agricole Group‟s corporate and investment bank.

SWOT ANALYSIS

BNP Paribas is France‟s largest listed banking group, ranking first in France in terms of net income and fourth in Europe for stockholder equity. The bank has a global presence that helps it reduce the exposure to the vagaries of the economic conditions of any one country. However, it is threatened by the adoption of the Basel II norms that will result in increased compliance cost for the company.

Strengths

Global presence

BNP Paribas is one of the largest financial services institutions and operates from about 200 offices worldwide. Apart from France and other European countries the company also operates in countries like the US, , Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Egypt, Algeria and India. The benefit of having operations worldwide is two fold. One, that the company would not have to incur the establishment costs of setting up its services if it finds business prospects in any of these countries and two, that the company would not be exposed to the vagaries of the economic conditions of any one country of operations.

Wide array of services

BNP Paribas provides its customers with a wide array of services that ranges from corporate finance, export financing and advisory services to retail banking, mortgage financing, institutional and private asset management services. Such a wide array of services insulates the performance of the company from revenues generated by anyone service thereby assuring a relatively stable top line for the company. In addition, it also provides the company with access to a wider end market and enhanced crossselling opportunities.

Strong market position

BNP Paribas enjoys a strong market position. It is one of the largest banks in Europe in terms of . BNP is one of the top 15 players in merger and acquisition transactions in Europe, being ranked number 13 among European players in terms of transaction volumes and number 11 as adviser to companies considering a merger or acquisition. It is also a leading player in France and Europe as a whole for primary equity business, holding the eighth spot in Europe and the top slot in France. Its French retail banking segment is one of the most popular retail banking networks. Such a strong market position enhances the company‟s bargaining leverage and gives it a competitive advantage as against its peers in the industry. Weaknesses

Decline in interest income

BNP Paribas has witnessed a considerable decline in its interest income. Interest income forms a major portion of the total revenue earned by any financial institution. In the case of BNP it forms about 63.9% of the total revenue earned in fiscal 2004. The company has witnessed a decline of about 8.1% (CAGR) in the 2000-04 period. Although there was a marginal rise of 4.3% in fiscal 2004, interest income earned by the company has not been able to come up to the 2000 level. If this trend in decline continues, the company may have to bear an adverse impact on its top line growth.

High proportion of NPLs

The amount of non-performing loans (NPLs) that the company has as a proportion to its loans is higher than many of its peers in the industry. In fiscal 2004, gross NPLs formed 6.3% of the total loans for the company. This proportion was much higher for the bank as against some of its closest competitors like ABN AMRO Holdings (2.9%), (2.3%) and (4.8%). Such a high proportion of NPLs will not only negatively impact the return generated by the company on its assets but would also hamper the confidence of its shareholders.

Low growth in revenues

The company has posted a slower growth rate in its revenues as compared to some its closest competitors operating in the European banking industry. In fiscal 2004, the company achieved a growth of only about 6.9% in its revenues, whereas, some its major competitors like UBS, and HSBC Holdings achieved a growth rate of about 25%, 27% and 23%, respectively. If the company continues to derive lower growth rate in its revenues as compared to its peers in the industry it may result in a loss of market share.

Opportunities

Acquisition of FundQuest

In June 2005, BNP Paribas became a leading global player in open architecture with the acquisition of FundQuest in the US. BNP Paribas Asset Management has reached an agreement to acquire US based, FundQuest, with $10 billion in and administration. BNP will use FundQuest as its global brand for wealth management solutions in open architecture in the US and Europe. Massachusetts based FundQuest, provides a range of wealth management solutions to more than 60 financial institutions, mainly banks and insurance -dealers. This acquisition is a strategic opportunity for BNP Paribas and FundQuest to become an integrated global market leader that uses open architecture to deliver wealth management solutions for institutions and advisors. In the US, BNP Paribas will make a major move in managed accounts, a segment of the US investment industry with strong growth potential. In Europe, FundQuest will join forces with Cortal Consors Fund Management (CFM), a fully-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas and a European leader in open architecture and investment advisory services with $18 billion under management and advisory. CFM‟s existing multi-management solutions will be combined with FundQuest‟s expertise in managed accounts to create a global leader with nearly $30 billion under management and administration.

Increasing demand for private banking services

Improved global outlook and strong performance of capital markets has resulted in strong demand for private banking services. This is evident from the growth in the number of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) (individuals with a net worth of at least US E1 million), which grew by 7.3% in 2004 to reach 8.3 million, an addition of 600,000. Asia-Pacific has witnessed one of the highest growth rates (over 8%) during 2004, which was almost twice as higher than Europe. , , Australia and India have seen highest rates of HNWI population growth. Global high net worth wealth is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% over the next five years, reaching E42.2 trillion by 2009. Since BNP has wide spread operations in almost all of the countries mentioned above, this trend is expected to boost the company‟s wealth management services.

Emerging retirement market

The retirement market presents a key growth opportunity for financial service institutions as government support of pension plans weakens. Insurance firms and banks are well positioned to benefit and are investing heavily to pursue this segment more vigorously. The responsibility of providing income for retirement is shifting from the state to the individual in most parts of the world. Pensions make up an average of 21% of public spending in European Union countries. The long-term savings market in Europe is predicted to be worth about E26 trillion by the end of 2010, compared with E12 trillion in 1999. The life insurance market in the UK is also forecast to increase by 6.6% over the forecasted period, to reach a value of £38.4 billion (approximately E56.6 billion) in 2008 (as of December 2004). BNP provides a wide range of products including personal financial services, pensions, insurance and investment products. The positive outlook for the long term savings market would provide the company with the opportunity to increase revenues from the personal financial services, retirement, insurance, and investment offerings.

Threats

Basel II Accord

The goal of the Basel II Accord is to better align regulatory capital measures with a bank‟s inherent risk profile based on credit, market and operational risks. The Accord is an outcome of more than five years of work by the Basel Committee against a backdrop of intense deliberations and dialogue within the banking industry, and among regulators around specific rules. The Basel II Capital Accord requires banks to assess the risk in each area of their business and set aside adequate regulatory capital. Complying with Basel II qualification standards requires a significant history of consistent, accurate and granular data within the credit management information systems. Due to this, the cost of compliance has become a heavy burden on banks. In a survey conducted in 2004, financial firms ranked compliance as their most critical spending issue. High compliance costs would pull down the margins of banks such as BNP and adversely affect their overall profitability.

Consolidation in the financial services industry

In recent years, there has been substantial consolidation and convergence among companies in the financial services industry. In particular, a number of large commercial banks, insurance companies and other broad-based financial services firms have established or acquired broker-dealers or have merged with other financial institutions in Europe and overseas. While the traditional reasons for mergers achieving scale and building market share are still valid, today‟s mergers are likely to be driven by reasons that go beyond sheer increases in size. In many cases, banks are now pursuing deals that will fill in gaps in product lineups and broaden geographic coverage in current markets as well as enter new markets. Banks are also seeking to balance the more volatile areas of their business such as investment banking with more stable revenue streams provided by retail banking.

Bank of America‟s E47 billion purchase of FleetBoston; JPMorgan Chase‟s E58 billion acquisition of Bank One; and Mitsubishi Financial Group‟s interest in the retail operations of UFJ Holdings highlight these trends. Through such business alliances and consolidations, these organizations have attained ability to supplement their investment banking and securities business with commercial banking, insurance and other financial services revenues. This has greatly increased competition for banks like BNP Paribas, which may adversely affect its market share.

IFRS Accounting

From January 2005, all European Union member countries and Australia will have to report their financial results according to the International Financial Reporting Standards. As per these guideline banks will have to measure more of their exposures using fair value (ie market value) techniques. These guidelines also restrict banks in their use of accounting. Whilst this should make their accounts far more transparent, these changes will result in increased earnings , and could significantly impact companies like BNP Paribas.

BNP Paribas in India

BNP Paribas was one of the first banks to start a dialogue with India in 1860 begining operations in Calcutta (renamed Kolkata). In those days, the Bank was known as the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris (CNEP). We have since then spread our branches to eight key metros & mini metros and widened and enriched our product repertoire. Today, BNP Paribas is the second oldest foreign bank on the Indian soil and is positioned amongst the leading corporate banks in India.

This historical association with India from her independence to liberalization has given BNP Paribas an unparalleled experience of the Indian economy as we have witnessed her grow at close quarters. Our integrity, consciousness and commitment to the business in India has bailed us out of the „cotton crisis' in 1865 and protected us from crashing during the depression of 1929-32 and again during the Second World War in 1940, and finally kept us away from the infamous scam of 1992.

Today, many of India's top Corporates – both domestic and multinationals bank on us to meet their specialized corporate banking requirements. Besides, through our Private Banking offer we have also built lasting relationships with select high networth individuals in the country.

While we are proud of our deep-rooted history in this country and the strong relationships that we have forged through our values we are continually changing to proactively prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.

Our goals

 Becoming the preferred banker and a trusted partner of our customers.  Nurturing our employees with a rewarding and stimulating environment for personal and professional experience.  Providing value consistently for our shareholders through profitable development and management of risk inherent to our business activities.  Pledging ourselves to respect and maintain the highest standards of ethics and good corporate citizenship.  Insisting on sustained quality by being a proactive, technology driven and innovative bank.

WOMEN CHANGING INDIA: A BNP PARIBAS PROJECT

On Wednesday 25 May at 7 pm, the Women Changing India exhibition sponsored by BNP Paribas in collaboration with Magnum Photos will be inaugurated at Fondazione Forma per la Fotografia in Milan.

The Women Changing India project is an initiative launched by the BNP Paribas banking group to commemorate the 150 years it has operated in the country. During 2010 the exhibition toured five Indian cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Chennai and Calcutta. In 2011 BNP Paribas is bringing the exhibition to Europe, first in Milan, and subsequently London, and Paris.

This exhibition features more than 130 pictures taken by 6 photographers of the Magnum agency. Their assignment was to photograph, in its various forms, the strength of Indian women who are able to change and transform the country.

The exhibition is accompanied by videos. Listening to the voices of the photographers and their subjects enhances our perception of the exhibition.

This project and this exhibition therefore seek to show up widespread tired clichés and present the face of the new and constantly changing India.Indian women have the power to change their country and that is what they are doing.

"India's future is growing in the hands of women."
