- The requirement for the Total Capital ratio is 14.62%3 (of which 1.73% for the P2R).
- The requirement for the leverage ratio remains unchanged at 3.85%3, including 0.10% of Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R-LR).
As of 30 September 2025, the BNP Paribas Group is significantly above the regulatory requirements with:
| Minimal requirements | Levels as at 30.09.25 | ||

Additionally, the results of the 2025 stress test conducted by the EBA and the ECB have enabled the Group to be positioned in the first bucket of the ECB’s Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G), within a range of 0 to 100 basis points, lower than the previous range of 50 to 200 basis points.
These results reflect the structural improvements in the Group’s profile, the solidity of its capital structure and the prudent management of its balance sheet.
