Performance & Momentum
BNP Paribas refocuses, sells BMCI unit
BNP Paribas has agreed to sell its controlling stake in Moroccan bank BMCI to the Holmarcom group. The deal reflects a strategic refocus on activities seen as more profitable, while the group will maintain a presence in investment banking in Morocco through a new partnership with Holmarcom. At the same time, the bank is stepping up investments in fintech platforms such as Versana and Illuminate Financial to support financial infrastructure linked to lending and corporate services. The market may view this as a sign of strategic discipline and capital reallocation, which is broadly positive in the medium term for the group’s profitability and stock profile.
