BNP Paribas (FR0000131104) is working through the implementation of its 2022-2025 strategic plan while positioning itself against large peers in the Euro Stoxx banks sector. The group’s targets for 2025 remain anchored in higher profitability and disciplined capital deployment, based on its current guidance and public presentations.

What BNP Paribas targets for 2025

BNP Paribas has set out a 2025 return on tangible equity target of around 11.5 percent under its 2022-2025 GTS (Growth, Technology, Sustainability) plan, according to its latest strategy presentations and investor materials. The group also aims for average annual revenue growth of roughly 3.5 percent to 4 percent over the plan period, driven by its diversified retail and investment banking activities in France, Italy, Belgium and internationally.

Management has emphasized maintaining a common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of at least 12 percent while funding organic growth and shareholder returns, including dividends and buybacks, in line with European Central Bank expectations for large systemic banks. Compared with other major euro area banks such as Banco Santander, Société Générale and UniCredit in the Euro Stoxx banks index, BNP Paribas remains positioned as one of the sector’s larger capital and liquidity providers.
