Hocher keeps cool as Crédit Agricole CIB hots up

After years of restructuring, Crédit Agricole’s corporate and investment bank is tentatively showing the signs of stability and growth that the group’s crisis-weary shareholders have long sought. Maintaining this course may well prove just as tough.

Four years after becoming chief executive of Crédit Agricole’s corporate and investment bank, Jean-Yves Hocher could be forgiven for expressing a quiet satisfaction at the division’s latest set of results. 

On February 19, the corporate and investment bank reported a 32% rise in annual profits to €1.03 billion for 2014 – the division’s second consecutive year of good and solid profitability and the first time it has breached the €1 billion income threshold under Hocher.
