SOLID RESULTS
BNP Paribas’ diversified and integrated model and its capacity to accompany clients and the economy in a comprehensive way by mobilising its teams, its resources, and its capabilities, continued to drive growth in activity and results in 2023.
The Group’s performance, as reflected in distributable Net Income(1), is solid and in line with the 2023 objective. Distributable Net Income(1) amounted to 11,232 million euros in 2023, up sharply, by 10.2% compared to the 2022 reported result(2). Distributable Net Income reflects BNP Paribas’ intrinsic performance post impact of the sale of Bank of the West and post contribution to the rampup of the Single Resolution Fund and enabled the absorption of the very significant negative impact of extraordinary items in 2023 recognised in Corporate Centre.
On this basis(1), revenue growth was strong (+3.3%), and operating expenses decreased by 1.0%. The Group achieved a positive jaws effect(3). Thanks to its long-term approach and prudent and proactive risk management, cost of risk is at a low level (32 basis points of outstanding customer loans)(4), driven by a structural improvement in the risk profile over the past 10 years.
The financial structure is solid, and the trajectory of the common equity Tier 1 ratio is on track to meeting the 12% objective post implementation of the new CRR3 regulation. Lastly, the redeployment of capital is well underway and disciplined in its approach and sustains the acceleration in growth.

BNP Paribas achieved a very good performance in 2023 that reflects the solidity of our diversified model, the efficiency of our platforms, and the Group’s ability to continue its development in order to address the needs of its individual, corporate and institutional clients. On the strength of our teams’ mobilisation and expertise and our technological advances, BNP Paribas will continue to grow and gain market share.
2023 also featured a strong acceleration in financing the production of low-carbon energies while exiting the financing of the production of fossil fuels in order to contribute towards transitioning our economies and our societies. Alongside all our teams, whom I wish to thank for their commitment, we remain focused on our mission of supporting clients and partners on a long term basis and, more broadly, of serving the European economy.
