Since the beginning of this week, some speculative rumours have implied that BNP Paribas could have to launch a capital increase in order to improve its solvency.
BNP Paribas confirms that its capital ratios fully satisfy the requirements set by its regulator, given its risk profile.
As a consequence, no capital increase is currently under consideration, apart from those already programmed to finance the relutive acquisition of Fortis
Bank,
and
which
will be subscribed by the
Belgian
and Luxembourg States.
