PILLAR II Pillar II establishes a process of prudential supervision that complements and strengthens Pillar I. It consistsof: an analysis by the bank of all of its risks, including those already ● covered by Pillar I; an estimateby the bank of the capital requirement for these risks; ● comparison by the banking supervisor of its own analysis of the ● bank’s risk profile with the analysis conductedby the bank, in order to adapt its choice of prudentialmeasureswhere applicable,which may take the form of capital requirementsexceedingthe minimum requirements or any other appropriate technique.

For fiscal year 2017, the total capital ratio in force for Groupe BPCE under Pillar II was 9.5%, excluding the capital conservation buffer and the G-SIB buffer. This ratio remains unchangedfor 2018.

PILLAR III The purpose of Pillar III is to establish market discipline through a series of reporting requirements. These requirements – both qualitative and quantitative – are intended to improve financial transparency in the assessment of risk exposure, risk assessment procedures and capital adequacy.
