The wealth and asset management arm of BNP Paribas saw revenue increase 14.7% in 2021, compared to 2020, to hit €3.422bn.
This was attributed to growth in fees as well as revenues related to loan activity in wealth management. In addition, a strong rise in asset management revenues on the back of strong net asset inflows and performance effect played a role.
