OUR STRATEGY
The CIB division aims to be the long-term preferred European partner for its corporate and institutional clients. It is particularly committed to supporting them in their transition to a more sustainable model.
The development of this strategy is based on three priorities:
- capitalise on the Group’s diversified, integrated and at-scale model;
- leverage its ability to connect its corporate and institutional franchises;
- gain new market share in a consolidating industry.
OUR PROGRESS IN 2024
In 2024, against a backdrop of continued market disruption, CIB drew on its three strong and integrated business lines to pursue its long-term strategy to serve its clients. All three demonstrated their growth potential and heightened resilience in the face of economic cycles. Through increasing market shares, the division bolstered its position as the leading European CIB in EMEA.
Thus, in 2024, CIB:
- intensified cross-selling and inter-regional dynamics, fully exploiting the potential of the integrated model to serve clients and finance the economy;
- accelerated its development as a result of the investments made to strengthen its franchises;
- consolidated its position as a key partner in the transition to a low-carbon economy by mobilising its teams and reinforcing its expertise, notably through the Low-Carbon Transition Group (LCTG). CIB is the leader in sustainable financing worldwide and in the EMEA region(2).
