Casino Report on 3 French Banks: BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Societe Generale

Reader Lars from Norway sent me his “casino” findings on three French banks. He defines”Casino” holdings as derivatives and proprietary trading as opposed to loans and deposits.

Lars comments “BNP is the size of Deutsche Bank but with an even bigger casino share of total assets (derivatives and prop trading).”

“They have all large casinos.”

It’s intriguing to see a comparative analysis of French banks, especially with a focus on their “casino” holdings, defined as derivatives and proprietary trading. Lars’ observation regarding BNP’s casino share of total assets, surpassing even Deutsche Bank, adds a layer of complexity to the financial landscape.

It prompts contemplation on the risk exposure and strategic decisions shaping the dynamics of these financial institutions. The intricate dance of assets in the financial world never fails to intrigue me. Looking forward to more insightful analyses!

The EU and borderless, Ponzi scheme megalomania in general, are to blame! When (not if) it all falls apart, the 2008 BFC will merely look like a cosy garden party spoilt by a rainy day…

The most influential regulator in the financial system is the person depositing money in the the bank.

And that would be The Fed and those they gave all the money to. Duh! Noone else has any money to deposit anywhere, after all.

What are the other 20-30% of assets in this classification system?

Does the “Loans” category include Non-Performing Loans?

400 million EU citizens will carry the weight and defaults/losses will be socialized.

Not likely to be the case if the banks were in the smaller countries but France & Germany have status of being “exceptional nations” & no action is too large to bail-out their big banks.

A good share of the reason why risky banks in smaller countries still get funding, is that large-country “systemically important” banks don’t mind exposure to them. So, Brussels will “have to” bail those out as well, or the scary “system” will “collapse.” Which, in the childish minds of dumb progressives, is the ultimate Hobgoblin.

Of course they “have all large casinos”. In the Moral Hazard Economy, that is how you become “systemically important” and therefore eligible for mandatory bail-outs when your “casino bets” turn out to be losers.
