B.4b Trend
information
Macroeconomic environment.
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.
In 2018, global growth remained healthy at around 3.7% (according to the
IMF), reflecting a stabilised growth rate in advanced economies (+2.4%
after +2.3% in 2017) and in emerging economies (+4.6% after +4.7% in
2017). Since the economy was at the peak of its cycle in large developed
countries, central banks continued to tighten accommodating monetary
policy or planned to taper it. With inflation levels still moderate, however,
central banks were able to manage this transition gradually, thereby limiting
the risks of a marked downturn in economic activity. Thus, the IMF expects
the global growth rate experienced over the last two years to continue in
2019 (+3.5%) despite the slight slowdown expected in advanced
economies.
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 (reduction in assets purchases started in January
2018, with an end in December 2018) involve risks of financial turbulence
and economic slowdown more pronounced than expected. 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
and bond markets, etc.) as well as on certain interest rate-sensitive sectors.
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
Macro-economically, the impact of an interest rate increase could be
significant for countries with high public and/or private debt-to-GDP. This is
particularly the case for 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 2018, 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;

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 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 and transparency and reporting on
derivative transactions;
the new Markets in Financial Instruments Directive ("MiFID II") 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") came into force
on 25 May 2018. This regulation aims to move the European data
confidentiality environment forward and improve 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")

to an output floor (based on standardised approaches), which will
be gradually applied as of 2022 and reach its final level in 2027.
area. Moreover, in this 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 and personal data, 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. Thus, the code of conduct adopted
by the Group in 2016 sets out detailed values and rules of conduct in this

The progress and acceleration of technological change are giving
cybercriminals new options for altering, stealing, and disclosing data. The

all sectors, including financial services.
The outsourcing of a growing number of processes also exposes the Group
to structural cyber security and technology risks leading to the appearance
of potential attack vectors that cybercriminals can exploit. Accordingly, the
Group has a second line of defence within the Risk Function dedicated to

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:
Seven main categories of risk are inherent in BNPP's activities:
(1) Credit risk − Credit risk is defined as the probability of a borrower
or counterparty defaulting on its
obligations to the Issuer.
Probability of default along with the recovery rate of the loan or
debt in the event of default are essential elements in assessing
credit quality. The Issuer's risk-weighted assets subject to this type
of risk amounted to EUR 504 billion at 31 December 2018. In
accordance with the EBA recommendations, this category of risk
also includes risks on equity investments, as well as those related
to insurance activities.
(2) Operational risk – Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from
failed or inadequate internal processes (particularly those involving
personnel and information systems) or external events, whether
deliberate, accidental or natural (floods, fires, earthquakes,
terrorist attacks, etc.). Operational risks include fraud, human
resources risks, legal and reputational risks, non-compliance risks,
tax risks, information systems risks, risk of providing inadequate
financial services (conduct risk), risk of failure of operational
processes including credit processes, or from the use of a model
(model risk), as well as potential financial consequences related to
reputation risk management. The Issuer's risk-weighted assets
subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR 73 billion at 31
December 2018.
(3) Counterparty risk – Counterparty risk arises from the Issuer's credit
risk in the specific context of market transactions, investments,
and/or settlements. The amount of this risk varies over time
depending on fluctuations in market parameters affecting the
potential future value of the transactions concerned. The Issuer's
risk-weighted assets subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR
27 billion at 31 December 2018.
(4) Market risk − Market risk is the risk of loss of value caused by an
unfavorable trend in prices or market parameters. Market
parameters include, but are not limited to, exchange rates, prices
of securities and commodities (whether the price is directly quoted
or obtained by reference to a comparable asset), the price of
derivatives on an established market and all benchmarks that can
be derived from market quotations such as interest rates, credit
spreads,
volatility
or
implicit
correlations
or
other
similar
parameters. The Issuer's risk-weighted assets subject to this type
of risk amounted to EUR 20 billion at 31 December 2018.
(5) Securitisation risk − Securitisation is a transaction or arrangement
by which the credit risk associated with a liability or set of liabilities
is subdivided into tranches. Any commitment made under a
securitisation structure (including derivatives and liquidity lines) is
considered to be a securitisation. The bulk of these commitments
are in the prudential banking portfolio. The Issuer's risk-weighted
assets subject to this type of risk amounted to EUR 7 billion at 31
December 2018
(6) Risks related to deferred taxes and certain holdings in credit or
financial institutions

amounts below the prudential capital
deduction thresholds generate risk-weighted assets amounting to
EUR 17 billion at 31 December 2018.
(7) Liquidity risk − Liquidity risk is the risk that the Issuer will not be
able to honor its commitments or unwind or offset a position due to
market conditions or specific factors within a specified period of
time and at a reasonable cost. It reflects the risk of not being able
to cope with net cash outflows, including collateral requirements,
over short-term to long-term horizons. The Group's specific risk
can be assessed through its short-term liquidity ratio, which
analyses the hedging of net cash outflows during a 30-day stress
period.
More generally, the risks to which the Group is exposed may arise from a
number of factors related, among other things, to changes in its
macroeconomic, competitive, market and regulatory environment or the
implementation of its strategy, its business or its operations.
Risks
This section summarises the principal risks that the Issuer currently
considers itself to face. They are presented in the following categories:
risks related to the macroeconomic environment, risks related to the market
environment, regulatory risks and risks related to the implementation of the
Issuer's strategy, risks related to the management of the Issuer's business,
risks related to the Issuer's operations.
(a) Adverse economic and financial conditions have in the past had
and may in the future have an impact on the Issuer and the markets
in which it operates.
(b) Given the global scope of its activities, the Issuer may be
vulnerable to certain political, macroeconomic or financial risks in
the countries and regions where it operates.
(c) The Issuer'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.
(d) The prolonged low interest rate environment carries inherent
systemic risks, and an exit from such environment also carries
risks.
(e) Significant interest rate changes could adversely affect the Issuer's
revenues or profitability.
(f) The soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and
market participants could adversely affect the Issuer.

D.3 Key risks
regarding the
Notes
In addition to the risks relating to the Issuer (including the default risk)
thatmay 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 risks associated with Notes issued under the Programme, including:
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;
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;
Issuer Risks
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;
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;
Risk associated with Senior Preferred Notes
there are no events of default under the Senior Preferred Notes;
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:
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 Notes
Risks Relating to Specific Types of Notes
The following risks are associated with SPS Notes
Reverse Convertible 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 whether a knock-in event
occurs.
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 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.
