Summary
BNP Paribas is doubling down on Belgium, setting bold profit targets for its Belgian operations—with a 22% pre-tax ROE by 2028 and 25% by 2030, up from 13.6% last year. The unit’s contribution to the bank’s tangible equity return is set to jump from 0.3% to 0.5% by 2028. Driven by 9% annual revenue growth (mostly from net interest income) and a push to slash costs to a 59% cost-income ratio, the bank is betting on efficiency and steady growth—not flashy expansion. Loans and deposits are forecast to grow 2% annually, with stable deposit mix hinting at loyal customers. This is a clear strategic play to turn Belgium into a high-margin engine for BNP’s global profits. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
