CORPORATE BANKING Corporate Banking combines services relating to debt financing solutions (traditional loans and specialised financings, including export financing, project financing, acquisition financing and leveraged financing), mergers and acquisitions (advisory mandates for acquisitions or disposals, strategic financial advice, privatisation advice, etc) and primary activities on the equity markets (IPOs, capital increases, convertible and exchangeable bond issues, etc.), and all transaction banking products (liquidity management, cash management, deposit collection and international trade transactions). The full range of products and services is offered to customers all over the world. To better anticipate their needs, the teams are structured by geographic area, thereby combining global expertise and local knowledge. In addition, tasked with developing and managing long-term client relationships, the Corporate Coverage teams also provide access to the BNP Paribas global product offerings and extensive international network.

Thanks to this set-up and the strong coordination between the regions, any client entering a business centre (One Bank) can have access to a global Corporate Banking platform and can benefit from the expertise of all other business centres for its activities.

In EMEA, Corporate Banking activities have a geographic presence in 34 countries. This set-up reinforces the One Bank for Corporates approach developed in close cooperation with the Group s four domestic markets and included a network of 66 trade centres in 2019. Global Banking EMEA now combines financing activities (debt and equity), mergers and acquisitions advice, securitisation, syndication and distribution of CIB on the Capital Markets platform, a joint venture with Global Markets.

In Asia Pacific, Corporate Banking and Advisory activities encompass the full suite of M&A advisory services, financing, capital raising (debt and equity capital markets) and transaction banking (cash management, international trade, related risk hedging services, deposit taking). Corporate Banking offers clients comprehensive and integrated end to end banking facilities in major currencies as well as local currencies through full banking licence branches or subsidiaries in 12 different markets.
