Macro-economic environment
Market and macroeconomic conditions affect the BNPP's results. The nature of
the
BNPP's
business
makes
it
particularly
sensitive
to
market
and
macroeconomic conditions in Europe, which have been difficult and volatile in
recent years.
In 2013, the global economy began to move towards equilibrium, with several
Element Title
emerging countries slowing down and a slight recovery in the developed
countries. In 2013, global economic conditions remained generally stable as
compared to 2012. IMF and OECD economic forecasts
for 2014 generally
indicate a renewal of moderate growth in developed economies albeit less strong
and uniform in the Euro-Zone. Their analysts consider that uncertainties remain
regarding the strength of the recovery, particularly in light of the U. S. Federal
Reserve's announcement in December 2013 that it would gradually reduce
("taper") its stimulus program, and in the Euro-zone, where a risk of deflation
exists.
Within the Euro-zone, sovereign credit spreads continued to decrease in 2013
following the decrease recorded in 2012 from the previous historically high
levels. The financial condition of certain sovereigns has markedly improved but
there remains uncertainty as to the solvency of some others.
Laws and Regulations applicable to Financial Institutions
Laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions that have an impact on
the BNPP have significantly evolved in the wake of the global financial crisis.
The measures that have been proposed and/or adopted in recent years include
more stringent capital and liquidity requirements (particularly for large global
banking groups such as the BNP Paribas Group), taxes on financial transactions,
restrictions and taxes on employee compensation, limits on the types of
activities that commercial banks can undertake and ring-fencing or even
prohibition of certain activities considered as speculative within separate
subsidiaries, restrictions on certain types of financial products, increased
internal control and reporting requirements, more stringent conduct of business
rules, mandatory clearing and reporting of derivative transactions, requirements
to mitigate risks in relation to over-the-counter derivative transactions and the
creation of new and strengthened regulatory bodies. The measures that were
recently adopted, or in some cases proposed and still under discussion, that have
or are likely to affect the BNPP, include in particular the French Ordinance of
27 June 2013 relating to credit institutions and financing companies ("Sociétés
de financement"), which came into force on 1 January 2014 and the French
banking law of 26 July 2013 on the separation and regulation of banking
activities and the Ordinance of 20 February 2014 for the adaptation of French
law to EU law with respect to financial matters; the EU Directive and
Regulation on prudential requirements "CRD IV" dated 26 June 2013 and many
of whose provisions have been applicable since 1 January 2014; the proposals of
technical regulatory and execution rules relating to the Directive and Regulation
CRD IV published by the EBA; the designation of the BNPP as a systemically
important financial institution by the FSB; the public consultation for the reform
of the structure of the EU banking sector of 2013 and the European
Commission's proposed regulation on structural measures designed to improve
the strength of EU credit institutions of 29 January 2014; the proposal for a
regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial
contracts; the European single supervisory mechanism; the European proposal
Element Title for a single resolution mechanism and the proposal for a European Directive on
bank recovery and resolution; the final rule for the regulation of foreign banks
imposing certain liquidity, capital and other prudential requirements adopted by
the U.S. Federal Reserve; the proposal of the U.S. Federal Reserve relating to
liquidity ratios of large banks; and the "Volcker" Rule imposing certain
restrictions on investments in or sponsorship of hedge funds and private equity
funds and proprietary trading activities (of U.S. banks and to some extent non
U.S. banks) that was recently adopted by the U.S. regulatory authorities. More
generally, regulators and legislators in any country may, at any time, implement
new or different measures that could have a significant impact on the financial
system in general or the BNPP in particular

In April 2004, BNPP began outsourcing IT Infrastructure Management Services
to the "BNP Paribas Partners for Innovation" (BP²I) joint venture set up with
IBM France at the end of 2003. BP²I provides IT Infrastructure Management
Services for BNPP and several BNPP subsidiaries in France, Switzerland, and
Italy. In mid-December 2011 BNPP renewed its agreement with IBM France for
a period lasting until end-2017. At the end of 2012, the parties entered into an
agreement to gradually extend this arrangement to BNP Paribas Fortis as from
2013.
BP²I is 50/50-owned by BNPP and IBM France; IBM France is
responsible for daily operations, with a strong commitment of BNPP as a

Section D – Risks

Element Title
D.2 Key risks
regarding
the Issuer
and the
Guarantor
There are certain factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations
under the Securities issued under the Programme and the Guarantor's obligations
under the Guarantee.
Twelve main categories of risk are inherent in BNPP's activities:

Credit Risk;

Counterparty Risk;

Securitisation;

Market Risk;

Operational Risk

Compliance and Reputation Risk;

Concentration Risk

Asset-liability management Risk;

Breakeven Risk;

Strategy Risk;

Liquidity and refinancing Risk;
Element Title

Insurance subscription Risk.
Difficult market and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the
operating environment for financial institutions and hence on BNPP's financial
condition, results of operations and cost of risk.
Legislative action and regulatory measures taken in response to the global financial
crisis may materially impact BNPP and the financial and economic environment in
which it operates.
BNPP's access to and cost of funding could be adversely affected by a resurgence of
the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, worsening economic conditions, further rating
downgrades or other factors.
A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of previously
recorded provisions could adversely affect BNPP's results of operations and financial
condition.
BNPP may incur significant losses on its trading and investment activities due to
market fluctuations and volatility.
BNPP may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other commission and fee
based businesses during market downturns.
Protracted market declines can reduce liquidity in the markets, making it harder to
sell assets and possibly leading to material losses.
Significant interest rate changes could adversely affect BNPP's revenues or
profitability.
The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and market participants
could adversely affect BNPP.
BNPP's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation is damaged.
An interruption in or a breach of BNPP's information systems may result in lost
business and other losses.
Unforeseen external events can interrupt BNPP's operations and cause substantial
losses and additional costs.
BNPP is subject to extensive and evolving regulatory regimes in the countries and
regions in which it operates.
Notwithstanding BNPP's risk management policies, procedures and methods, it
could still be exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks, which could lead to
material losses.
BNPP's hedging strategies may not prevent losses.
Element Title
BNPP may experience difficulties integrating acquired companies and may be
unable to realise the benefits expected from its acquisitions.
Intense competition, especially in France where it has the largest single
concentration of its businesses, could adversely affect BNPP's revenues and
profitability.
The following risk factors relate to BNPP B.V.: BNPP B.V. is an operating
company. BNPP B.V.'s sole business is the raising and borrowing of money by
issuing securities such as Notes, Warrants or Certificates or other obligations. BNPP
B.V. has, and will have, no assets other than hedging agreements (OTC contracts
mentioned in the Annual Reports), cash and fees payable to it, or other assets
acquired by it, in each case in connection with the issue of securities or entry into
other obligations related thereto from time to time. The net proceeds from each issue
of Securities issued by the Issuer will become part of the general funds of BNPP
B.V. BNPP B.V. uses such proceeds to maintain positions in options or futures
contracts or other hedging instruments ("Hedging Agreements") and/or, in the case
of Secured Securities, to acquire Collateral Assets. The ability of BNPP B.V. to
meet its obligations under Securities issued by it will depend on the receipt by it of
payments under the relevant Hedging Agreements. Consequently, Holders of BNPP
B.V. Securities will, subject to the provisions of the relevant Guarantee, be exposed
to the ability of counterparties in respect of such Hedging Agreements to perform
their obligations under such Hedging Agreements.
Securities sold in the United
States or to U.S. Persons may be subject to transfer restrictions.
D.3 Key risks
regarding
the
There are certain factors which are material for the purposes of assessing the market
risks associated with Securities issued under the Programme, including that
-Securities (other than Secured Securities) are unsecured obligations,
Securities -the trading price of the Securities is affected by a number of factors including, but
not limited to, the price of the relevant Underlying Reference(s), time to expiration
or redemption and volatility and such factors mean that the trading price of the
Securities may be below the Final Redemption Amount or Cash Settlement Amount
or value of the Entitlement,
-exposure to the Underlying Reference in many cases will be achieved by the
relevant Issuer entering into hedging arrangements and, in respect of Securities
linked to an Underlying Reference, potential investors are exposed to the
performance of these hedging arrangements and events that may affect the hedging
arrangements and consequently the occurrence of any of these events may affect the
value of the Securities,
-the occurrence of an additional disruption event or optional additional disruption
event may lead to an adjustment to the Securities, cancellation (in the case of
Warrants) or early redemption (in the case of Notes and Certificates) or may result in
the amount payable on scheduled redemption being different from the amount
Element Title
expected to be paid at scheduled redemption and consequently the occurrence of an
additional disruption event and/or optional additional disruption event may have an
adverse effect on the value or liquidity of the Securities,
-expenses and taxation may be payable in respect of the Securities,
the Securities may be cancelled (in the case of Warrants) or redeemed (in the case of
Notes and Certificates) in the case of illegality or impracticability and such
cancellation or redemption may result in an investor not realising a return on an
investment in the Securities,
-any judicial decision or change to an administrative practice or change to English
law or French law, as applicable, after the date of the Base Prospectus could
materially adversely impact the value of any Securities affected by it,
-a reduction in the rating, if any, accorded to outstanding debt securities of the
Issuer or Guarantor (if applicable) by a credit rating agency could result in a
reduction in the trading value of the Securities,
-certain conflicts of interest may arise (see Element E.4 below),
-the only means through which a Holder can realise value from the Security prior to
its Exercise Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, is to sell it at its
then market price in an available secondary market and that there may be no
secondary market for the Securities (which could mean that an investor has to
exercise or wait until redemption of the Securities to realise a greater value than its
trading value).
In addition, there are specific risks in relation to Securities which are linked to an
Underlying Reference (including Hybrid Securities) and an investment in such
Securities will entail significant risks not associated with an investment in a
conventional debt security. Risk factors in relation to Underlying Reference linked
Securities include: exposure to one or more share, similar market risks to a direct
equity investment, global depositary receipt ("GDR") or American depositary receipt
("ADR"), potential adjustment events or extraordinary events affecting shares and
market disruption or failure to open of an exchange which may have an adverse
effect on the value and liquidity of the Securities and that the Issuer will not provide
post-issuance information in relation to the Underlying Reference.
Element Title
D.6 Risk
warning
See Element D.3 above.
In the event of the insolvency of the Issuer or if it is otherwise unable or unwilling to
repay the Securities when repayment falls due, an investor may lose all or part of his
investment in the Securities.
If the Guarantor is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the Guarantee
when due, an investor may lose all or part of his investment in the Securities.
In addition, investors may lose all or part of their investment in the Securities as a
result of the terms and conditions of the Securities.
