Laurent Mignon, Chairman of the Management Board of Groupe BPCE, said"In the 3rd quarter of the year, commercial momentum was strong in all our business lines, which were able to support the projects of all our customers in this period of economic recovery. Working closely with their territories and customers, the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne once again delivered very solid growth, notably in insurance and consumer credit. Our global business lines – Asset Management and Corporate & Investment Banking – record sustained performance in their respective areas of expertise, driven by a dynamic market. Plans to simplify our organization are progressing according to schedule and the announcement of the streamlining of our relations with Banque Postale represents a complementary aspect of this initiative. More than ever, our Group is determined to continue supporting its customers throughout its local catchment areas because, for a cooperative banking Group such as ours, meeting the major challenges of the energy, digital, and societal transition is an absolute priority, at the heart of our strategic ambitions.”
