Best bank and Best investment bank: BNP Paribas |
The contest for the best bank in France title this year was no less predictable than the French Open final, which went yet again to Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
La banque du tennis, as BNP Paribas is known locally, stood out in sharp contrast to its main rivals by avoiding the losses, scandals and subsequent cash calls that dogged Société Générale and Crédit Agricole this year, making it the obvious choice for the best bank in France and adding strength to its claim to the title of best bank in western Europe this year as well.
