In terms of the bank’s operations within the group, Crédit Agricole reported net income of €1.35bn, above consensus expectations of €1.27bn, according to analysts’ estimates provided by FactSet.

The Paris-based company said it had strong double-digit rise in revenue at its corporate loans, consumer finance and leasing businesses.

But the group’s common equity Tier 1 ratio, a measure of financial strength, fell to 17.2% at the end of September from 17.5% in June, hit by adverse market effects, the company said.
