Among the details, the French group said it achieved strong net asset inflows, particularly in Asia.

The asset and wealth management arm of BNP Paribas has logged pre-tax income of €225 million ($264 million) for the second quarter of 2025, rising 10.2 per cent from a year ago. 

Revenues rose 1.9 per cent year-over-year to €897 million; operating costs and depreciation stood at €671 million, down a touch from a year before, the Paris-listed banking group said in a statement late last week. 

The lender said it logged “very good cumulative net asset inflows of €15.9 billion in the first half of 2025, particularly in Asia, with strong inflows into US dollar deposits, as well as commercial and personal banking. 

The asset management side of BNP Paribas logged €18.8 billion of net inflows in H1, 2025; the weaker dollar exchange rate reduced AuM by €20.4 billion – a phenomenon seen at several Europe-based firms wrestling with forex market behaviour this year.

Across the banking group, net income attributable to shareholders slipped 4.4 per cent on a year earlier to €6.209 billion in H1 2025. 

Return on non-revaluated tangible equity was 11.6 per cent.

The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio – a standard measure of a lender’s capital buffer – was 12.5 per cent as of 30 June 2025, which BNP Paribas said far exceeded European regulatory requirements.

Shares in BNP Paribas have risen sharply this year – up by 32.6 per cent, buoyed by perceptions that the eurozone economy can benefit from an investment shift to Europe.
