BNP Paribas has received the notification by the European Central Bank of the outcome of the 2026 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), which sets out the Group’s capital requirements and leverage ratio on a consolidated basis as of 1 January 2027.

Based on the new methodology implemented by the SSM, the Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) that the Group must meet is 1.90%, up 17 basis points compared to 2025 SREP, including 1.07% in the form of Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1).

The P2R impact on the CET1 requirement is limited to 2 basis points compared with the 2025 SREP and does not affect the Group’s CET1 trajectory. As announced with its third-quarter 2026 results, BNP Paribas expects its CET1 ratio to be above 13% as of 31 December 2026.

As of 1^st January 2027:

• the CET1 requirement is 10.73%, excluding the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G).
  It includes 1.75% for the O-SII buffer, 2.50% for the Conversation buffer, 1.07% for the P2R¹, 0.82% of countercyclical buffer and 0.09% of systemic buffer²;

• the Tier 1 Capital ratio requirement is 12.58%³, of which 1.43% for the P2R;
• the Total Capital ratio requirement is 15.06%, of which 1.90% for the P2R;
• the leverage ratio requirement remains unchanged at 3.85%, of which 0.10% of P2R applicable to the leverage ratio (P2R-LR).
  
  

The Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) remains unchanged compared to 2025, within a range of 0 to 100 basis points.

The regulatory leverage ratio also remains unchanged.

As of 30 September 2026, BNP Paribas is significantly above its capital and leverage ratio requirements.
