BNP Paribas is named as one of the world's safest banks

BNP Paribas has been named by Global Finance magazine as one of the World's Safest Banks. BNP Paribas, rated by S+P as one of the world's strongest banks, is continuing to hold up well in the current market crisis. Global Finance magazine is a leading publication dedicated to providing guidance to today's corporate leaders, bankers and investors around the world.

The World's Safest Banks were selected through a comparison of the long-term credit ratings and total assets of the 300 largest banks around the world.

The 10 top banks will be honored at an awards ceremony to be held in Washington D.C. on October 13th to coincide with the World Bank/IMF annual meeting.
