This outstanding result is the fruit of the constant work of BNP Paribas Fixed Income teams. It is supported up by the annual survey carried out late 2006, commissioned by Agence France Trésor*. In all fixed income products, BNP Paribas is the leading counterparty of investors surveyed.
Commenting on this result, Frédéric Janbon, Global Head of Fixed Income for BNP Paribas, said: “The quality of our research, advice and execution is essential for constantly improving the service we seek to offer our clients, both investors and issuers. This "Smart Trading/Smart Sales/Smart Research" strategy gave us critical mass in flow products and enables us to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients. We are also at the cutting edge in inflation products (e.g. indexed bonds and swaps) or exotic derivatives in Europe and Asia of-course, but also in America”
