BNP Paribas has unveiled an ambitious plan aimed at enhancing its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio to 13% by 2027, signifying a commitment to both capital strength and sustainable advancement. The bank's blueprint revolves around solid profitability, prudent growth, and strategic asset restructuring to achieve this notable objective.
The 13% CET1 aspiration is underpinned by three crucial elements: increased profitability across the organization that contributes to capital generation, a controlled rise in risk-weighted assets of approximately 2% annually, and an expedited sale of non-core assets. This balanced strategy ensures financial stability alongside growth.
Profitability Goals in Focus
The bank aims for a Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) of 13% by 2028, which represents a significant improvement of 210 basis points compared to 2024. About two-thirds of this target will stem from ongoing strategic endeavors across Personal Finance, CPBF, CPBB, and Asset Management, collectively accounting for a third of BNP Paribas's risk-weighted assets. Additional enhancements are expected from other strategic divisions pursuing efficiency-oriented growth.
Focused on Cost Efficiency
BNP Paribas is placing strong emphasis on operational efficiency, intending to lower its cost/income ratio to 61% by 2026 and to 58% by 2028. This focus underscores the bank's dedication to sustainable cost management while driving growth.
Any capital surplus above the 13% CET1 benchmark will be reviewed annually and may be distributed to shareholders. Consequently, BNP Paribas plans to initiate a €1.15 billion share buyback program in November 2025, contingent upon 2025 earnings approval by the ECB.
The bank will elaborate on its growth and profitability expectations through 2028 in its upcoming 2025 results, with a detailed 2027-2030 growth strategy expected to follow in early 2027. These initiatives demonstrate BNP Paribas’ commitment to achieving strong financial outcomes while adhering to a disciplined and strategic framework for capital and risk management.
