NBI: EUR +71m in Q2 10
NCR: EUR -97m in Q2 10

Ashley
In a tumultuous environment, our CIB Q2 revenues were down vs. Q2 09, when market conditions were exceptionally favorable, but still showed resilience.
The very good performance of Financing & Advisory counterbalanced our Global Markets results, negatively impacted by the evolution of market parameters. Overall, this demonstrates the robustness of our model.
Global Markets:
Equities: Revenues were down in a unfavorable environment (volatility peaks, bear markets) which negatively impacted the cost of client positions hedging.
Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities: In an adverse environment (widening credit spreads, lower volumes) our Q performance showed a limited decline vs. Q1 2010, thanks notably to a good contribution from rates and to gains in market share.
Financing & Advisory: A very good quarter
Our structured finance activities increased their contribution to revenues, owing particularly to the dynamism of natural resources finance.
We also consolidated our strong positioning in the Euro bond market.
Other key trends: Active management of legacy assets and risks
The impact of legacy assets is in line with the guidance given to the market and we posted a net decrease of the cost of risk this quarter. Finally, we have managed our market risks actively to address market fluctuation.
Overall, our results are satisfying, in particular regarding our bottom line, in a difficult market context that has impacted the whole industry. Our performance illustrates our capacity to adapt and to deliver, even in an adverse market environment, and is in line with what we announced to the market during Investor Day.

20. High ambitions yet reachable
Top 5 European CIB
NBI growth
Profitability
Operational efficiency
Frank: Ambitions to be top 5 CIB in Europe by 2012
Despite the crises SG CIB has done well, we have gained market share in every field
We are already among the top 5 even Top 3 in some of our historical leading areas (Equity derivatives, Commodities, Export Finance, Structured products, Some flow product areas…)
We need to further develop our activities in CEE, Russia and BIC, leveraging on the Group’s presence there (see next slide – areas to develop in priority)
Grow NBI to EUR 9.5 Bn by 2012 : yes the bar is high but achievable
In terms of profitability, SG CIB has been historically one of the best. But need to make more investment in business development and infrastructure… objective C/I ratio at 55% in 2012
Operational efficiency : we are currently lagging behind vs. the best in class in terms of automation, cost per trade and operational risks, want to go directly towards the highest standards.
While we raise the level of our ambitions for SG CIB, we will keep our focus on our core franchises i.e. investment banking, global markets, global finance.
We want our growth to be sound, profitable and sustainable.

21. Business development plans in details:
Focus: FX, CTY, M&A,USD/GBP, FIs…
Pragmatic approach
Open to new opportunities
Ashley: How will we achieve these ambitious goals – here are some details
Yes we can spirit
The areas where we want to expand beyond our existing franchises : FX, CTY but also M&A, USD/GBP, FIs just to name the main ones… expecting an additional NBI of approx. 500MEUR in 2012.
These are business areas where we had made attempts previously that did not succeed and I hear there are doubts as to how and why we could succeed now.
because of the opportunities opened by the new CIB landscape
because we are adopting a very pragmatic approach, building our existing product and client franchise, investing in high profile professionals to fill the gap more quickly, aligning our teams and organisation around common objectives, setting ambitious yet reasonable NBI and profitability targets and not with unrealistic size and league tables goals…
M&A: Let’s face it, SG CIB is n°3 in France and remains quite far behind our European peers with a ranking of n°18 in Europe. Right approach: more alignment with core clients, recruitment of high profile investment bankers… Challenging but achievable…
USD/GPB: Not pretending to become a leader is USD/GBP.... capitalise on our top 5 euro product and client franchise to serve our clients’ needs beyond the euro… achievable….
Fis : Our NBI with Western Europe Target FIs reached around 1.4 bn in 2008, we can double it! Big push to be made across the board.
Let’s also be open to look at other opportunities : emerging markets, prime brokerage, etc
 But to have the maximum chances to succeed in these new fields, need full support from everyone, leave your scepticism and adopt a more positive ‘Yes we can spirit ’ ….
“Yes we can” spirit !
