Understanding our 1st Quarter 2017 Results

Published on 27/04/2017

Frédéric Oudéa's editorial

Societe Generale's results for Q1 2017 once again demonstrate the quality of its diversified and integrated banking model, with a good performance in all its businesses. Strong growth in International Retail Banking & Financial Services and solid revenues in Global Banking & Investor Solutions more than offset the negative impact of low interest rates in French Retail Banking. Based on the increase in revenues and the control of its costs and risks, Group net income was substantially higher, excluding the impact of disputes.
