These results represent a solid base for the kick-off of the 2021-2024 strategic plan and for the ongoing growth of Natixis' four businesses under the simplification and development project presented by Groupe BPCE in February.

Expressed in basis points of loans outstanding (excluding credit institutions), the businesses' underlying cost of risk worked out to 52bps in 1Q21.
