Crédit Agricole reported Q3 net income up 18% YoY to €1.99bn (~$2.23bn). French retail revenue hit a record and corporate & investment banking posted its strongest Q3 revenue. The bank’s CEO warned recent fiscal and political unrest in France could reduce loan demand and raise credit risk in coming months, citing a slowdown in overall investment and projects. Management said it expects loan applications may fall and is taking a highly cautious stance. The comment is the strongest warning from French bankers to date, suggesting the fiscal impasse that has pushed up domestic borrowing costs could spill across the financial sector.
