Section B - Issuer

Element	Title
B.1	Legal and commercial name of the Issuer	BNP Paribas ("BNPP" or the "Bank" or the "Issuer").
B.2	Domicile/ legal form/ legislation/ country of incorporation	The Issuer was incorporated in France as a société anonyme under French law and licensed as a bank, having its head office at 16, boulevard des Italiens – 75009 Paris, France.
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.

		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.

B.13	Events impacting the Issuer's solvency	Not applicable, as at 28 March 2018 and to the best of the Issuer's knowledge, there have not been any recent events which are to a material extent relevant to the evaluation of the Issuer's solvency since 31 December 2017.
B.14	Dependence upon other group entities	Subject to the following paragraph, BNPP is not dependent upon other members of the BNPP Group. In April 2004, BNP Paribas SA 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 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. BP²I 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 BP²I 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. See also Element B.5 above.

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
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;
at the commencement of the offer period, the issue price will not be known but the Final Terms will specify an indicative range. Prospective investors are required to make their decision to purchase

		the Notes on the basis of that indicative range prior to the actual issue price which will apply to the Notes being notified to them. Notice of the actual rate, level or percentage, as applicable, will be published in the same manner as the publication of the Final Terms; 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 an underlying interest.
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.
