CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING
CORPORATE & INSTITUTIONAL BANKING With over 30,000 staff in 56 countries, BNP Paribas CIB offers capital markets, securities services, fi nancing, treasury and fi nancial advisory bespoke solutions to two client franchises: corporates and institutionals. Acting as a bridge between corporate and institutional clients, it aims at connecting the fi nancing needs from corporate clients with institutional clients seeking investment opportunities. In 2018, 25 % of BNP Paribas revenues from operating divisions were generated by BNP Paribas CIB.
The CIB s streamlined and effi cient organisation is designed to meet the needs of BNP Paribas corporate and institutional clients. CIB is thus organised around three main businesses:
■ Corporate Banking, with its own organisation in each region;
■ Global Markets, grouping together all capital market activities; and
■ Securities Services.
CIB is present in three main regions:
■ EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa);
■ Americas;
■ APAC (Asia-Pacifi c).
2018 Awards

CORPORATE BANKING Corporate Banking combines services relating to debt fi nancing solutions (traditional loans and specialised fi nancings, including export fi nancing, project financing, acquisition financing and leveraged financing) 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.
Thanks to this set-up and the strong coordination between the regions, any client entering a business centre can have access to a global Corporate Banking platform and can benefi t 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 includes a network of 64 trade centres. Global Banking EMEA brings together all of CIB s fi nancing (debt and equity), M&A advisory and transaction banking capabilities.
In Asia Pacifi c, our Corporate Banking and Advisory activities encompass the full suite of M&A advisory services, fi nancing (including sustainable fi nance such as green and positive impact loans), capital raising (debt and equity capital markets) and transaction banking (cash management, international trade, related risk hedging services, deposit taking). We offer clients comprehensive and integrated end to end banking facilities in major currencies as well as local currencies through our full banking licence branches or subsidiaries in 12 different markets.
