The Issuer was incorporated in France as a société anonyme under
French law and licensed as a bank, having its head office at 16,

B.4b Trend Macroeconomic environment.
information Macroeconomic and market conditions affect the Bank's results. The
nature of the Bank's business makes it particularly sensitive to
macroeconomic and market conditions in Europe, which have been at
times challenging and volatile in recent years.
In 2016, global growth stabilised slightly above 3%, despite a much
lower growth in the advanced economies. Three major transitions
continue to affect the global outlook: declining economic growth in
China, fluctuating energy prices that rose in 2016, and a second
tightening of monetary policy in the United States in the context of a
resilient domestic recovery. It should be noted that the central banks of
developed
several
large
countries
continue
to
maintain
accommodative monetary policies. IMF economic forecasts for 2017 1
point to a recovery in global activity, no significant improvement in
growth in the euro zone and Japan, and a slowdown in the United
Kingdom.
In that context, two risks can be identified:
Financial instability due to the vulnerability of emerging countries
While the exposure of the BNP Paribas Group to emerging countries is
limited, the vulnerability of these economies may generate disruptions
in the global financial system that could affect the BNP Paribas Group
and potentially alter its results.
A broad increase in the foreign exchange liabilities of the economies of
many emerging market economies was observed in 2016, at a time
when debt levels (in both foreign and local currency) were already
high. The private sector was the main source of the increase in this
debt. Furthermore, the prospect of a gradual increase in US key rates
(the Federal Reserve Bank made its first increase in December 2015,
and a second in December 2016) and increased financial volatility
stemming from concerns about growth and mounting geopolitical risk
in emerging markets have contributed to a tightening of external
financial conditions, increased capital outflows, further currency
depreciations in many emerging markets and heightened risks for
banks. These factors could result in further downgrades of sovereign
ratings.
There is still a risk of disturbances in global markets (rising risk
premiums, erosion of confidence, declining growth, deferral or slower

$\frac{1}{1}$ See notably: IMF – World Economic Outlook, updated in January 2017.

pace of normalisation of monetary policies, declining liquidity in
markets, asset valuation problems, decline in credit supply and
disorderly deleveraging) that could affect all banking institutions.
Systemic risks related to increased debt and market liquidity
Despite the upturn since mid-2016, interest rates remain low, which
may continue to encourage excessive risk-taking among some players
in the financial system: increased maturities of financing and assets
held, less stringent policy for granting loans, increase in leveraged
financing.
Some players (insurance companies, pension funds, asset managers,
etc.) entail an increasingly systemic dimension and in the event of
market turbulence (linked for instance to a sudden rise in interest rates
and/or a sharp price correction) they may decide to unwind large
positions in an environment of relatively weak market liquidity.
Recent years have also seen an increase in debt (public and private,
in both developed and emerging countries). The resulting risk could
materialise either in the event of a spike in interest rates or a further
negative growth shock.
Laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions.
Recent and future changes in the laws and regulations applicable to
financial institutions may have a significant impact on the Bank.
Measures that were recently adopted or which are (or whose
application measures are) still in draft format, that have or are likely to
have an impact on the Bank notably include:
the structural reforms comprising the French banking law of 26
July 2013 requiring that banks create subsidiaries for or
segregate "speculative" proprietary operations from their
traditional retail banking activities, the "Volcker rule" in the US
which restricts proprietary transactions, sponsorship and
investment in private equity funds and hedge funds by US and
foreign banks, and upcoming potential changes in Europe;
regulations governing capital: the Capital Requirements
Directive IV ("CRD 4")/the Capital Requirements Regulation
("CRR"), the international standard for total-loss absorbing
capacity ("TLAC") and the Bank's designation as a financial
institution that is of systemic importance by the Financial
Stability Board;
the European Single Supervisory Mechanism and the
ordinance of 6 November 2014;
the Directive of 16 April 2014 related to deposit guarantee
systems and its delegation and implementing decrees, the
Directive of 15 May 2014 establishing a Bank Recovery and
Resolution framework, the Single Resolution Mechanism
establishing the Single Resolution Council and the Single
Resolution Fund:
the Final Rule by the US Federal Reserve imposing tighter
prudential rules on the US transactions of large foreign banks,
notably the obligation to create a separate intermediary
holding company in the US (capitalised and subject to
regulation) to house their US subsidiaries;
the new rules for the regulation of over-the-counter derivative
activities pursuant to Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street

B.5 Description of
the Group
BNPP is a European leading provider of banking and financial services
and has four domestic retail banking markets in Europe, namely in
Belgium, France, Italy and Luxembourg. It is present in 74 countries
and has more than 192,000 employees, including more than 146,000

(together the "BNPP Group").
Cyber risk
after a cyber incident.
In recent years, financial institutions have been impacted by a number
of cyber incidents, notably involving large-scale alterations of data
which compromise the quality of financial information. This risk
remains today and the Bank, like other banks, has taken measures to
implement systems to deal with cyber attacks that could destroy or
damage data and critical systems and hamper the smooth running of
its operations. Moreover, the regulatory and supervisory authorities are
taking initiatives to promote the exchange of information on cyber
security and cyber criminality in order to improve the security of
technological infrastructures and establish effective recovery plans
Moreover, in today's tougher regulatory context, the risk of non-
compliance with existing laws and regulations, in particular those
relating to the protection of the interests of customers, is a significant
risk for the banking industry, potentially resulting in significant losses
and fines. In addition to its compliance system, which specifically
covers this type of risk, the Group places the interest of its customers,
and more broadly that of its stakeholders, at the heart of its values.
The new Code of conduct adopted by the Group in 2016 sets out
detailed values and rules of conduct in this area.
the new Markets in Financial Instruments Directive ("MiFID")
and Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation ("MIFIR"),
and European regulations governing the clearing of certain

B.14 Dependence
upon other
Subject to the following paragraph, BNPP is not dependent upon other
members of the BNPP Group.
group entities In April 2004, BNP Paribas SA began outsourcing IT Infrastructure
Management Services to the BNP Paribas Partners for Innovation
(BP 2 I) joint venture set up with IBM France at the end of 2003. BP 2 I
provides IT Infrastructure Management Services for BNP Paribas SA
and several BNP Paribas subsidiaries in France (including BNP
Paribas Personal Finance, BP2S, and BNP Paribas Cardif),
Switzerland, and Italy. In mid-December 2011 BNP Paribas 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. The
Swiss subsidiary was closed on 31 December 2016.
BP 2 I is under the operational control of IBM France. BNP Paribas has
a strong influence over this entity, which is 50/50 owned with IBM
France. The BNP Paribas staff made available to BP 2 I make up half of
that entity's permanent staff, its buildings and processing centres are
the property of the Group, and the governance in place provides BNP
Paribas with the contractual right to monitor the entity and bring it back
into the Group if necessary.
ISFS, is a fully-owned IBM subsidiary, which has changed its name to
IBM Luxembourg, and handles IT Infrastructure Management for part
of BNP Paribas Luxembourg's entities.
BancWest's data processing operations are outsourced to Fidelity
Information Services ("FIS") for its core banking. The hosting and
production operations are also located at FIS in Honolulu.
Cofinoga France's data processing is outsourced to SDDC, a fully-
owned IBM subsidiary.

D.2 Key risks
regarding the
Issuer
Potential investors should have sufficient knowledge and experience in
capital markets transactions and should be able to correctly assess the
risks associated with Notes. Certain risk factors may affect the Issuer's
ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes, some of which are
beyond its control. An investment in Notes presents certain risks that
should be taken into account before any investment decision is made.
In particular, the Issuer, together with the BNPP Group is exposed to
the risks associated with its activities, as described below:
As defined in the 2016 Registration Document and Annual Financial
Report, eight main categories of risk are inherent in BNPP's activities:
(1)
Credit Risk - Credit risk is the consequence resulting from the
likelihood that a borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its
obligations in accordance with agreed terms. The probability of
default and the expected recovery on the loan or receivable in
the event of default are key components of the credit quality
assessment;
(2)
Securitisation in the Banking Book - Securitisation means a
transaction or scheme, whereby the credit risk associated with
an exposure or pool of exposures is tranched, having the
following characteristics:
payments made in the transaction or scheme are
dependent upon the performance of the exposure or
pool of exposures;
the subordination of tranches determines the distribution
of losses during the life of the risk transfer.
Any commitment (including derivatives and liquidity lines)
granted to a securitisation operation must be treated as a
securitisation exposure. Most of these commitments are held
in the prudential banking book;
(3)
Counterparty Credit Risk - Counterparty credit risk is the
credit
risk
translation of the
embedded
financial
in.
transactions, investments and/or settlement transactions
between counterparties. Those transactions include bilateral
contracts such as over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives
contracts as well as contracts settled through clearing houses.
The amount of this risk may vary over time in line with
market parameters which then impacts the
changing
replacement value of the relevant transactions.
Counterparty risk lies in the event that a counterparty defaults
on its obligations to pay the Bank the full present value of the
flows relating to a transaction or a portfolio for which the Bank
is a net receiver. Counterparty credit risk is also linked to the
replacement cost of a derivative or portfolio in the event of
counterparty default. Hence, it can be seen as a market risk in
case of default or a contingent risk. Counterparty risk arises
both from both bilateral activities of BNP Paribas with clients
and clearing activities through a clearing house or an external
clearer;
Market Risk - Market risk is the risk of incurring a loss of value
(4)
due to adverse trends in market prices or parameters, whether
directly observable or not.
Observable market parameters include, but are not limited to,
exchange rates, prices of securities and commodities
(whether listed or obtained by reference to a similar asset),
prices of derivatives, and other parameters that can be
directly inferred from them, such as interest rates, credit
spreads, volatilities and implied correlations or other similar
parameters.
Non-observable factors are those based on working
assumptions such as parameters contained in models or
based on statistical or economic analyses, non-ascertainable
in the market.
In fixed income trading books, credit instruments are valued
on the basis of bond yields and credit spreads, which
represent market parameters in the same way as interest
rates or foreign exchange rates. The credit risk arising on the
issuer of the debt instrument is therefore a component of
market risk known as issuer risk.
Liquidity is an important component of market risk. In times of
limited or no liquidity, instruments or goods may not be
tradable or may not be tradable at their estimated value. This
may arise, for example, due to low transaction volumes, legal
restrictions or a strong imbalance between demand and
supply for certain assets.
The market risk related to banking activities encompasses the
risk of loss on equity holdings on the one hand, and the
interest rate and foreign exchange risks stemming from
banking intermediation activities on the other hand;
(5) Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank will not be
able to honour its commitments or unwind or settle a position
due to the market environment or idiosyncratic factors (i.e.
specific to BNP Paribas), within a given timeframe and at a
reasonable cost.
Liquidity risk reflects the risk of the Group being unable to
fulfil current or future foreseen or unforeseen cash or
collateral requirements, across all time horizons, from the
short to the long term.
This risk may stem from the reduction in funding sources,
draw down of funding commitments, a reduction in the
liquidity of certain assets, or an increase in cash or collateral
margin calls. It may be related to the bank itself (reputation
risk) or to external factors (risks in some markets).
The Group's liquidity risk is managed under a global liquidity
policy approved by the Group's ALM Committee. This policy
is based on management principles designed to apply both in
normal conditions and in a liquidity crisis. The Group's
liquidity position is assessed on the basis of internal
indicators and regulatory ratios;
(6) Operational Risk - Operational risk is the risk of incurring a
loss due to inadequate or failed internal processes, or due to
external events, whether deliberate, accidental or natural
occurrences. Management of operational risk is based on an

J.

analysis of the "cause - event - effect" chain.
Internal processes giving rise to operational risk may involve
employees and/or IT systems. External events include, but
are not limited to floods, fire, earthquakes and terrorist
attacks. Credit or market events such as default or
fluctuations in value do not fall within the scope of operational
risk.
Operational risk encompasses fraud, human resources risks,
legal risks, non-compliance risks, tax risks, information
system risks, conduct risks (risks related to the provision of
inappropriate financial services), risk related to failures in
operating processes, including loan procedures or model
risks, as well as any potential financial implications resulting
from the management of reputation risks;
(7) Compliance and Reputation Risk - Compliance risk is defined
in French regulations as the risk of legal, administrative or
disciplinary sanctions, of significant financial loss or
reputational damage that a bank may suffer as a result of
failure to comply with national or European laws and
regulations, codes of conduct and standards of good practice
applicable to banking and financial activities, or instructions
given by an executive body, particularly in application of
guidelines issued by a supervisory body.
By definition, this risk is a sub-category of operational risk.
However, as certain implications of compliance risk involve
more than a purely financial loss and may actually damage
the institution's reputation, the Bank treats compliance risk
separately.
Reputation risk is the risk of damaging the trust placed in a
corporation by its customers, counterparties, suppliers,
employees, shareholders, supervisors and any other
stakeholder whose trust is an essential condition for the
corporation to carry out its day-to-day operations.
Reputation risk is primarily contingent on all the other risks
borne by the Bank;
(8) Insurance Risks - BNP Paribas Cardif is exposed to the
following risks:
market risk, risk of a financial loss arising from adverse
$\bullet$
movements of financial
markets. These adverse
movements are notably reflected in prices (foreign
exchange rates, bond prices, equity and commodity
prices, derivatives prices, real estate prices) and
derived from fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads,
volatility and correlation;
credit risk, risk of loss resulting from fluctuations in the
٠
credit standing of issuers of securities, counterparties
and any debtors to which insurance and reinsurance
undertakings are exposed. Among the debtors, risks
related to financial instruments (including the banks in
which the Company holds deposits) and risks related to
receivables generated by the underwriting activities
(premium collection, reinsurance recovering) are
distinguished into two categories: "Asset Credit Risk"

$\label{eq:1} \hat{\Sigma}_{\rm{eff}}(\mathbf{z}) = \hat{\Sigma}$

and "Liabilities Credit Risk";
underwriting risk is the risk of a financial loss caused by
a sudden, unexpected increase in insurance claims.
Depending on the type of insurance business (life, non-
life), this risk may be statistical, macroeconomic or
behavioural, or may be related to public health issues or
disasters;
operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from the
inadequacy or failure of internal processes, IT failures or
deliberate external events, whether accidental or natural.
The external events mentioned in this definition include
those of human or natural origin.
(a) Difficult market and economic conditions have had and may
continue to 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.
(b) The United Kingdom's referendum to leave the European
Union may lead to significant uncertainty, volatility and
disruption in European and broader financial and economic
markets and hence may adversely affect BNPP's operating
environment.
(c) Due to the geographic scope of its activities, BNPP may be
vulnerable
to
country
regional-specific
or
political,
macroeconomic and financial environments or circumstances.
(d) BNPP's access to and cost of funding could be adversely
affected by a resurgence of financial crises, worsening
economic conditions, rating downgrades, increases in credit
spreads or other factors.
(e) Significant interest rate changes could adversely affect
BNPP's revenues or profitability.
(f) The prolonged low interest rate environment carries inherent
systemic risks, and an exit from such environment also carries
risks.
(g) The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and
market participants could adversely affect BNPP.
(h) BNPP may incur significant losses on its trading and
investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility.
(i) BNPP may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other
and fee-based
commission
businesses
during
market
downturns.
(j) Protracted market declines can reduce liquidity in the markets,
making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material
losses.
(k) Laws and regulations adopted in recent years, particularly in
response to the global financial crisis may materially impact
BNPP and the financial and economic environment in which it
operates.
(1) BNPP is subject to extensive and evolving regulatory regimes
in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
(m) BNPP may incur substantial fines and other administrative and
criminal penalties for non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, and may also incur losses in related (or unrelated).
litigation with private parties.
(n) There are risks related to the implementation of BNPP's
strategic plans.
(0) BNPP
may experience difficulties integrating acquired
companies and may be unable to realize the benefits expected
from its acquisitions.
(p) Intense competition by banking and non-banking operators
could adversely affect BNPP's revenues and profitability.
(q) 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.
(r) BNPP's risk management policies, procedures and methods
may leave it exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks,
which could lead to material losses.
(s) BNPP's hedging strategies may not prevent losses.
(t) Adjustments to the carrying value of BNPP's securities and
derivatives portfolios and BNPP's own debt could have an
impact on its net income and shareholders' equity.
(u) The expected changes in accounting principles relating to
financial instruments may have an impact on BNPP's balance
sheet and regulatory capital ratios and result in additional
costs.
(v) BNPP's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation
is damaged.
(w) An interruption in or a breach of BNPP's information systems
may result in material losses of client or customer information,
damage to BNPP's reputation and lead to financial losses.
(x) Unforeseen external events may disrupt BNPP's operations
and cause substantial losses and additional costs.
D.3 Key risks
regarding the
Notes
In addition to the risks relating to the Issuer (including the default risk)
that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the
Notes, there are certain factors which are material for the purposes of
assessing the market risks associated with Notes issued under the
Programme, including:
Market Risks
the Notes are unsecured obligations;
the trading price of the Notes is affected by a number of factors
including, but not limited to, (in respect of Notes linked to an
Underlying Reference) the price of the relevant Underlying
Reference(s) and volatility and such factors mean that the trading price
of the Notes may be below the Final Redemption Amount or value of
the Entitlement;
exposure to the Underlying Reference in many cases will be achieved
by the Issuer entering into hedging arrangements and, in respect of
Notes 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
Notes;
Noteholder Risks
[the Notes may have a minimum trading amount and if, following the
transfer of any Notes, a Noteholder holds fewer Notes than the
specified minimum trading amount, such Noteholder will not be
permitted to transfer their remaining Notes prior to redemption without
first purchasing enough additional Notes in order to hold the minimum
trading amount;
the meetings of Noteholders provisions permit defined majorities to
bind all Noteholders;
in certain circumstances Noteholders may lose the entire value of their
investment;
Issuer Risk
a reduction in the rating, if any, accorded to outstanding debt securities
of the Issuer by a credit rating agency could result in a reduction in the
trading value of the Notes;
certain conflicts of interest may arise (see Element E.4 below);
Legal Risks
the occurrence of an additional disruption event or optional additional
disruption event may lead to an adjustment to the Notes, or early
redemption or may result in the amount payable on scheduled
redemption being different from the amount 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 Notes;
the Notes may be redeemed in the case of illegality or impracticability
and such redemption may result in an investor not realising a return on
an investment in the Notes;
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 Notes
affected by it;
Secondary Market Risks
an active secondary market may never be established or may be
illiquid and that this may adversely affect the value at which an
investor may sell its Notes (investors may suffer a partial or total loss
of the amount of their investment);
the trading market for Notes may be volatile and may be adversely
impacted by many events;
Risks Relating to Underlying Reference Asset(s)
In addition, there are specific risks in relation to Notes which are linked
to an Underlying Reference and an investment in such Notes will entail
significant risks not associated with an investment in a conventional
debt security. Risk factors in relation to Underlying Reference linked
Notes include:

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2}$

Was a train of exposure to one or more index, adjustment events and market
disruption or failure to open of an exchange which may have an
adverse effect on the value and liquidity of the Notes.
Risks Relating to Specific Types of Notes
The following risks are associated with SPS Notes
Auto-callable Notes
Investors may be exposed to a partial or total loss of their
investment. The return on the Notes depends on the
performance of the Underlying Reference(s) and the
application of knock-in features. Auto-callable Notes include
automatic early redemption mechanisms. If an automatic early
redemption event occurs investors may be exposed to a
partial loss of their investment.
The following risks are associated with FI Notes
Digital Notes
Investors may be exposed to a partial or total loss of their
investment. The return on the Notes is fixed, but will be
subject to the performance of the Underlying Reference(s).
The return is calculated by reference to various mechanisms
(including knock-in features).
D.6 Risk warning In the event of the insolvency of the Issuer or if it is otherwise unable
or unwilling to repay the Notes when repayment falls due, an investor
may lose all or part of his investment in the Notes.
In addition, investors may lose all or part of their investment in the
Notes as a result of the terms and conditions of the Notes.
