About Crédit agricole corporate and investment bank

Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) is the corporate and investment banking division of Crédit Agricole Group, headquartered in Paris and operating across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa; it serves corporates, financial institutions, investors and public sector clients with a range of services that include financing (syndicated loans, structured and project finance, export finance), advisory (M&A and capital markets), markets activities (rates, foreign exchange, credit, equities and commodities trading and derivatives), transaction banking and securities services, and tailored risk-management solutions. The business model combines fee- and commission-based advisory and capital markets revenues with trading and lending activities, and it participates in global debt and equity capital markets as an underwriter and distributor. As part of a large universal banking group, CIB operates under group-level governance and capital allocation while remaining subject to European and national banking regulation, oversight on capital and liquidity ratios, and internal risk controls; its activities therefore reflect both institutional risk-management frameworks and market-driven revenue volatility. In recent years the bank has maintained coverage of thematic areas such as sustainable finance and structured products alongside conventional corporate finance, positioning itself to respond to client demand for green and social instruments while continuing to manage counterparty, market and regulatory risks inherent to investment banking.
