Three strategic targets

Fully integrated into the Group, serving its large customers, Crédit Agricole CIB has refocused and progressed in line with targets, with the adoption of a less volatile risk profile.

Crédit Agricole CIB has set three strategic targets for 2014:
 
- Selective expansion:
  •  Consolidate its model as a local corporate bank, with confirmed sector expertise on a global scale.
  •  Align its capital market and investment banking activities with the priorities of its corporate banking activities:
                  o  fixed income activities serving target customers and opening up access to a global investor base,
                  o  equity activities capitalising on the Bank's sector expertise.
  • Adapt its geographical presence according to priority customers, key sectors and access to liquidity.
    
- An optimised structure: rigorous management of resources and redeploying them to serve its expansion:
  • Operating efficiency plan,
  • Optimising of the international operations.

 - Controlled resources: active management of risk-weighted assets:
  • Ongoing Corporate and Investment Bank risk-weighted assets excluding regulatory impact of CRD 3 & 4 more or less stable in 2011-14.
