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 2017, global growth increased to about 3.5%, reflecting an
improvement in all geographic regions. In the large developed
countries, this increase in activity is leading to a tightening of, or a
tapering of accommodating monetary policy. However, with inflation
levels still very moderate, the central banks are able to manage this
transition very gradually, without compromising the economic outlook.
The IMF expects worldwide growth to strengthen further in 2018 and
has revised its forecast from +3.6% to +3.7%: the slight slowing down
expected in the advanced economies should be more than offset by
the forecast improvement in the emerging economies (driven by the
recovery in Latin America and the Middle East, and despite the
structural lower pace of economic growth in China).
In this context, the following two risk categories can be identified:
Risks of financial instability due to the conduct of monetary policies
Two risks should be emphasised: a sharp increase in interest rates and
the current very accommodating monetary policy being maintained for
too long.
On the one hand, the continued tightening of monetary policy in the
United States (which started in 2015) and the less-accommodating
monetary policy in the euro zone (a planned reduction in assets
purchases
starting
in
January
2018)
involve
risks
of
financial
turbulence. The risk of an inadequately controlled rise in long-term
interest rates may in particular be emphasised, under the scenario of
an unexpected increase in inflation or an unanticipated tightening of
monetary policies. If this risk materialises, it could have negative
consequences on the asset markets, particularly those for which risk
premiums are extremely low compared to their historic average,
following a decade of accommodating monetary policies (credit to non
investment grade corporates or countries, certain sectors of the equity
markets, real estate, etc.).
On the other hand, despite the upturn since mid-2016, interest rates
remain low, which may encourage excessive risk-taking among some
financial market participants: lengthening maturities of financings and
assets held, less stringent credit policy, and an increase in leveraged
financings. Some of these participants (insurance companies, pension
funds, asset managers, etc.) have an increasingly systemic dimension
and in the event of market turbulence (linked for example to a sharp
rise in interest rates and/or a sharp price correction) they could be
brought to unwind large positions in a relatively weak market liquidity.
Systemic risks related to increased debt
Macroeconomically, the impact of a rate increase could be significant
for countries with high public and/or private debt-to-GDP. This is
particularly the case for the United States and certain European
countries (in particular Greece, Italy, and Portugal), which are posting
public debt-to- GDP ratios often above 100% but also for emerging
countries.
Between 2008 and 2017, the latter recorded a marked increase in their
debt, including foreign currency debt owed to foreign creditors. The
private sector was the main source of the increase in this debt, but also
the public sector to a lesser extent, particularly in Africa. These
countries are particularly vulnerable to the prospect of a tightening in
monetary policies in the advanced economies. Capital outflows could
weigh on exchange rates, increase the costs of servicing that debt,
import inflation, and cause the emerging countries' central banks to
tighten their credit conditions. This would bring about a reduction in
forecast economic growth, possible downgrades of sovereign ratings,
and an increase in risks for the banks. 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 Group and potentially alter its results.
It should be noted that debt-related risk could materialise, not only in
the event of a sharp rise in interest rates, but also with any negative
growth shocks.
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
Reform
and
Consumer
Protection
Act,
notably
margin
requirements
for
uncleared
derivative
products
and
the
derivatives of securities traded by swap dealers, major swap
participants, security-based swap dealers and major security
based swap participants, and the rules of the US Securities
and Exchange Commission which require the registration of
banks and major swap participants active on derivatives
markets as well as transparency and reporting on derivative
transactions;
the new Markets in Financial Instruments Directive ("MiFID")
and Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation ("MiFIR"),
and European regulations governing the clearing of certain
over-the-counter
derivative
products
by
centralised
counterparties and the disclosure of securities financing
transactions to centralised bodies;
the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") will become
effective on 25 May 2018, moving the European data
confidentiality environment forward and improving personal
data protection within the European Union. Businesses run the
risk of severe penalties if they do not comply with the
standards set by the GDPR. This Regulation applies to all
banks providing services to European citizens; and
the finalisation of Basel 3 published by the Basel committee in
December 2017, introducing a revision to the measurement of
credit risk, operational risk and credit valuation adjustment
("CVA") risk for the calculation of risk- weighted assets. These
measures are expected to come into effect in January 2022
and will be subject to an output floor (based on standardised
approaches), which will be gradually applied as of 2022 and
reach its final level in 2027.
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.
Cyber security and technology risk
The Bank's ability to do business is intrinsically tied to the fluidity of
electronic transactions as well as the protection and security of
information and technology assets.
The technological change is accelerating with the digital transformation
and the resulting increase in the number of communications circuits,
proliferation in data sources, growing process automation, and greater
use of electronic banking transactions.
The progress and acceleration of technological change are giving
cybercriminals new options for altering, stealing, and disclosing data.
The number of attacks is increasing, with a greater reach and
sophistication in all sectors, including financial services.

Section D- Risks

Element Title
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 2017 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
translation
of
the
credit
risk
embedded
in
financial
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
changing
market
parameters
which
then
impacts
the
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;
(4)
Market Risk − Market risk is the risk of incurring a loss of value
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
interest rate and foreign exchange risks
stemming from
banking intermediation activities;
(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
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 risk;
(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, specifically the potential materialisation of
a credit or market risk, or an operational risk, as well as a
violation of the Group's code of conduct;
(8) Insurance
Risks
− BNP Paribas Cardif is exposed to the
following risks:

underwriting 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;

market risk: market risk is the risk of a financial loss
arising from adverse movements of financial markets.
These adverse movements are notably reflected in
price fluctuations (foreign exchange rates, bonds,
equities and commodities, derivatives, real estate,
etc.) and derived from fluctuations in interest rates,
credit spreads, volatilities and correlations;

credit risk: credit risk is the risk of loss or adverse
change
in
the
financial
situation
resulting
from
fluctuations in the credit standing of issuers of
securities, counterparties and any debtors to which
the BNP Paribas Cardif group is exposed. Among the
debtors,
risks
related
to
financial
instruments
(including the banks in which the BNP Paribas Cardif
group holds deposits) and risks related to receivables
generated by the underwriting activities (premium
collection, reinsurance recovering, etc.) are divided
into two categories: assets credit risk and liabilities
credit risk;

liquidity risk: liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to
fulfil current or future foreseen or unforeseen cash
requirements coming from insurance commitments to
policyholders, because of an inability to sell assets in
a timely manner; and

operational risk: operational risk is the risk of loss
resulting from the inadequacy or failure of internal
processes, IT failures or external events, whether
accidental or natural. These external events include
those of human or natural origin.
Risk Factors
risks
regulatory
This section summarises the principal risks that the Bank currently
considers itself to face. They are presented in the following categories:
related
to
the
macroeconomic
and
market
environment,
risks
and
risks
related
to
the
Bank,
its
strategy,
management and operations.
(a) Difficult market and economic conditions have in the past had
and may in the future have a material adverse effect on the
operating environment for financial institutions and hence on
the Bank'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
or
regional-specific
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) Downgrades in the credit ratings of France or of the Bank may
increase the Bank's borrowing cost.
(f) Significant interest
rate
changes
could
adversely
affect
BNPP's revenues or profitability.
(g) The prolonged low interest rate environment carries inherent
systemic risks, and an exit from such environment also carries
risks.
(h) The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and
market participants could adversely affect BNPP.
(i) BNPP may incur significant losses on its
trading and
investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility.
(j) BNPP may generate lower revenues from brokerage and other
commission
and
fee-based
businesses
during
market
downturns.
(k) Protracted market declines can reduce liquidity in the markets,
making it harder to sell assets and possibly leading to material
losses.
(l) Laws and regulations adopted in recent years, particularly in
response to the global financial crisis, as well as new
legislative proposals, may materially impact BNPP and the
financial and economic environment in which it operates.
(m) BNPP is subject to extensive and evolving regulatory regimes
in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
(n) 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.
(o) There are risks related to the implementation of BNPP's
strategic
plans
and
commitment
to
environmental
responsibility.
(p) BNPP
may
experience
difficulties
integrating
acquired
companies and may be unable to realize the benefits expected
from its acquisitions.
(q) Intense competition by banking and non-banking operators
could adversely affect BNPP's revenues and profitability.
(r) 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.
(s) BNPP's risk management policies, procedures and methods
may leave it exposed to unidentified or unanticipated risks,
which could lead to material losses.
(t) BNPP's hedging strategies may not prevent losses.
(u) 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.
(v) The expected changes in accounting principles relating to
financial instruments may have an impact on BNPP's balance
sheet, income statement
and regulatory capital ratios and
result in additional costs.
(w) BNPP's competitive position could be harmed if its reputation
is damaged.
(x) 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.
(y) Unforeseen external events may disrupt BNPP's operations
and cause substantial losses and additional costs.
D.3 Key risks
regarding the
Notes
assessing 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
the
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
Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity at the option of the Issuer
which may limit their market value;
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
settlement may be postponed following the occurrence or existence of
a Settlement Disruption Event and, in these circumstances, the Issuer
may pay a Disruption Cash Settlement Price (which may be less than
the fair market value of the Entitlement) in lieu of delivering the
Entitlement;
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:
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 variable and is
dependent
upon
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.
