On average, employees trainedin 2010 received 25 hours of training, roughly the same asthey had in 2009 (in France).Number ofemployeestrained2010 (11 months)* 2009 (11 months)*Number ofhours trainingNumber ofemployeestrainedNumber ofhours trainingFrance 3,522 89,183 3,775 73,519International 7,162 108,008 4,713 117,437Total 10,684 197,191 8,488 190,956% of business scope 84% 78% 75% 75%* Note that December fi gures are not representative.The main areas of training in France were as follows:• Banking and fi nance were in fi rst place, accounting for 26% oftotal training hours;• Languages remained in second place, with 26%;• Behavioural training was in third place, accounting for 14% oftotal training hours.Knowledge areaNumber of hours2010 (11 months)* 2009 (11 months)*ThemesTotal % France International Total %Knowledge of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.

1PRESENTATION OF CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong>Compensation PolicyThe Group strives to offer competitive compensation packagesand incentives to motivate its staff, while taking into account thespecifi c characteristics of its business lines, legal entities and locallaws.The compensation policy is designed to reward both individualand team performance, in keeping with the values of fairness,humanism and merit on which the Group has built its success.Skills and responsibility level are rewarded by basic salary in linewith each business’s specifi c conditions and local market, with aview to offering competitive and attractive compensation in eachof the markets in which the Group operates.Within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, variable compensation plans tied toindividual and collective performance are applied on the basis ofperformance targets and the entity’s results.Bases for variable compensation are set taking into account activities’risk profi le and all costs including the costs of risk, liquidityand cost of capital. Variable compensation is thus based on thedetermination of budgets by activity and its individual distributionto employees is decided by the managerial line depending on anoverall assessment of individual and collective performances thatis consistent with the fi nancial and non-fi nancial objectives thathave been defi ned individually and collectively.• Incorporation of the European CapitalRequirements Directive III (CRD III)The mechanisms for the attribution and acquisition of variablecompensation by risk-taking employees, control functions andmembers of executive bodies comply with the provisions ofCRBF regulation 97-02 as amended by the decree of 13 December2010 which transposes into French law the European CapitalRequirements Directive III (CRD III).This directive refl ects the recommendations of the Financial StabilityCouncil adopted by the G20 member governments at thePittsburgh summit meeting in September 2009 and the commitmentsmade by the banking profession during the 25 August2009 meeting with the French president, which included the activeparticipation of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. representatives.The variable compensation of these employees is partly deferredfor several years and is not fully vested until performance conditionshave been met. At least 50% of this variable compensationis paid in <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. shares or equivalent instruments.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has extended this deferral mechanism to employeesnot covered by the above-mentioned provisions of CRBFregulation 97-02 in order to ensure cohesiveness and alignmentwith the company’s overall performance.Note that the terms of the conditional deferred variable compensationprogramme put into place in 2010 in compliance with theprofessional standards of 5 November 2009 remain unchanged.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bank’s Loyalty programmehas not been renewed since 2010. The balance of thebonuses granted in 2008 and 2009 and whose initial paymentwas planned for 2011 and 2012 will be paid in full to benefi ciariesin 2011.The quantitative and qualitative information for the staff referred toby regulation 97-02 will be detailed in a dedicated report in accordancewith article 43.2 of this regulation, and published before the2011 Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the 2010 fi nancialstatements.• Compensation policy governance<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Compensation Committee ensures theapplication within its activities of the principles defi ned by <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Compensation Committee:Like the compensation policy governance structure establishedat the level of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A., <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s CompensationCommittee is therefore responsible for the following tasks:• It establishes the proposals submitted to the decision of theBoard of Directors relative to compensation policy within theframework of the principles laid down by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.More specifi cally in determining variable compensation packages(amounts, allocation) it makes certain that the impact ofrisks and capital requirements inherent in the activities concernedis taken into account.• It ensures compliance with regulatory rules and professionalstandards and in particular those concerning employees subjectto regulation 97.02.• In addition to the compensation of corporate offi cers, it examinesindividual situations with respect to employees’ variablecompensation for the highest amounts (€1 million or more).• Compensation of senior executivesFollowing a review in 2009, at its meeting of 9 December 2009,the Board of Directors of CA S.A. adopted a new compensationpolicy for the Group’s senior executives.The policy aims to reconcile the demands of an increasingly competitivemarket with the expectations of shareholders, employeesand customers, and to be consistent with the Group’s statureas a leading operator in the banking sector both nationally andinternationally.Direct compensation of Group executives consists of a fi xed salaryand variable compensation in the form of an annual bonus,half of which is based on fi nancial targets, and the other half onnon-fi nancial criteria (managerial, customer satisfaction and socialvalue creation targets).24SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

PRESENTATION OF CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 1• ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONEnvironmental performance<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> continued its efforts to minimise the ecologicalfootprint of its activities. As in 2009, this resulted in a reduction inits contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and in the developmentof recycling facilities.EnergyIn Paris, energy consumption in 2010 was unchanged from 2009for the buildings managed by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> following reductionsof 2.4% and 2.6% respectively in 2008 and 2009. This levelwas the result of several negative factors: the increase in the numberof occupants and technical damage requiring an additionalback-up system for fi ve months. Like for like, energy consumptionwould have been down by 1.5% in 2010. Presence detectors forthe lighting system were installed in lavatories.25% of the head offi ce’s electricity (and 17% for the Paris region)was provided from renewable sources.Although more diffi cult to achieve, efforts to minimise energyconsumption also concerned premises which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>rents. Thus, in London a 5% reduction in energy consumptionwas achieved over the last two years in the premises occupiedby <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> despite an increase in the number of employees.PaperVirtually all of the printing paper used by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> in Paris,London and New York is certifi ed by the Forest StewardshipCouncil (FSC) or the Sustainable Forest Initiative attesting to thefact that it comes from sustainably managed forests. A similarprocess has been under development in Hong Kong since 2009.Paper consumption at the Paris head offi ce was reduced by 3%in 2010 following reductions of 17% and 9% respectively in 2009and 2008, for a total reduction of 29% over three years. The useof recycled paper is gradually spreading in Paris, New York andTokyo.WasteAt the Paris and London offi ces, spent electronic equipment, batteries,light bulbs and print cartridges are collected and sorted forrecycling. Most of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Paris’ PCs are dismantled,then either recycled or sold cheaply to charities by Ateliers duBocage (a subsidiary of Emmaüs).After Paris, a selective paper collection process was generalizedin 2010 for London building.TransportationA Corporate Transport Plan was developed in 2009 for the GreaterParis Area. The goal is to reduce transport emissions by 15%over three years from the average over the period 2005-2007.The attendant measures defi ned to reach this goal began to beimplemented in 2010, including the extension of the travel policy(for example taking the train for business journeys lasting lessthan three hours and curtailing the use of taxis) and promotingthe car-pool exchange (with 617 members).In London, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> launched a «Cycle to Work« programme,which mirrors the UK government’s plan to encouragepeople to use their bicycles to commute to work.Direct impact associated withname changeThe reduction of direct impacts related to the name change in2009 was pursued in 2010 with the recycling of communicationtools. For instance, an advertising banner was transformed intobags and fashion accessories by a fashion designer. Then, theresidual emissions were gradually offset by buying carbon creditsrelated to a hydroelectric power plant in Melina in India. These coherentactions to raised awareness among managers, to reduceemissions and to offset remaining emissions were carried out witha consultant.Managing environmental and social impactsConsideration of sustainable development issuesEnvironmental and social sensitivity has been measured since2009. As a result, an Ethics Committee for transactions presentingan environmental or social risk (or CERES committee, chairedby the Head of Compliance) issues recommendations prior toCredit Committee meetings for all projects where it is deemed necessaryto closely monitor their environmental or social aspects.Wider consideration was given to the challenges of sustainabledevelopment in 2010 with the launch of refl ections on the specifi cchallenges of climate change and work preparatory to a moreextensive implementation of the Equator Principles.At the same time, employee awareness-raising on these issuescontinued with training sessions on the fundamentals of sustainabledevelopment, the Equator Principles and the Climate Principles.This training is accessible to all head offi ce-based staff.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 31


1PRESENTATION OF CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong>The Equator PrinciplesThese principles constitute a methodological support for factoringsocial and environmental impacts into the project fi nanceprocess. They allow for the assessment of the risks relating to theenvironmental and social impacts of projects of more than $10million. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is one of the banks that launched theEquator Principles in June 2003 and has worked actively to makea success of these principles which, in just a few years, havebecome a standard in the project fi nance market.• Project assessmentProject classifi cation is based on International Finance Corporation(IFC) classifi cation, which comprises three levels: A, B and C.• A corresponds to a project presenting potentially signifi cantnegative social or environmental impacts that are uniform, irreversibleor unprecedented;• B corresponds to a project presenting limited negative social orenvironmental impacts, generally relating to one site, that arelargely reversible and easy to resolve;• lastly, C corresponds to projects presenting minimal or no negativesocial or environmental impacts.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> classifi es projects by using a tool to assesstheir social and environmental impact according to the IFC ratingsystem developed by the bank in 2008. The relevance of this toolis constantly revised on the basis of the past experience. It wasdecided in 2010 to improve some aspects of the tool.• Implementation of the EquatorPrinciplesThe implementation of the EP was developed on the initiative of<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Project Finance business line. The assessmentand management of environmental and social risks is carriedout initially by business managers, assisted by a network oflocal EP correspondents within each Project Finance regionalstructuring centre in permanent collaboration with a CoordinationUnit.In addition, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Industry and Sector Researchunit provides help and additional insight, adding its skills in environmentaland technical issues and helping to refi ne the analysisand identifi cation of risks depending on the business sector. Theco-ordination unit, consisting of operational staff from the projectfi nancing business, co-ordinates the practical aspects of implementingthe Equator Principles. It manages the network of localcorrespondents and provides special training for staff concerned.The CERES Committee, which has replaced the Equator PrinciplesCommittee, meets in offi cial sessions at least four timesper year and validates the classifi cation of projects into categoriesA, B or C.• StatisticsGlobally, 366 projects have been rated at 31 December 2010 ofwhich 70 during 2010:• 25 projects were placed in category A of which 5 during 2010,• 288 were placed in category B of which 53 during 2010,• and 53 were placed in category C of which 12 during 2010.These projects have been analysed based on their rating withparticular attention paid to A-rated projects which are monitoredspecifi cally by the CERES Committee.The breakdown of ranked project by sector and region is shownbelow: Ranked projects at at 31 December 2010Breakdown by region20%12%2%9%26%18% Ranked projects at at 31 December 2010Breakdown by sector2%3%18%32%13%7%32% Ranked projects at at 31 December 2010Breakdown by sector3%3%23%37%17%6%17%North AmericaCentral and South AmericaFranceWestern EuropeEastern EuropeAfrica and Middle EastAsiaAustraliaElectric power plantsRenewable energy *InfrastructureIndustryMiningOil and gas* Renewable energy: Wind, solar, biomass and hydraulic.Electric power plantsRenewable energy *InfrastructureIndustryMiningOil and gas32SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


PRESENTATION OF CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 1Efforts to extend the EquatorPrinciples<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has been an active participant since thebeginning in several task forces set up by the group of banksthat have adopted the Equator Principles. In particular, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has contributed to the development of the codesof best practices that are intended to promote the use of theseprinciples for types of fi nancing other than Project Finance withinthe meaning of the Basel Committee on banking control.Based on these efforts, in 2010 <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> evaluated thepossibility of deploying an Equator Principles-type approach aslong as a direct link could be established between the fi nancingand construction of an industrial asset. This approach is intendedto allow the gradual extension of the assessment and managementof environmental and social risks to all fi nancing for whichsignifi cant environmental challenges have been identifi ed.Sustainable Banking unitSet up at the end of 2009 to help clients with their transactionslinked to social or environmental challenges, the SustainableBanking unit is organised each year with <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’sbusiness lines and various Group entities. In 2010, there was sustainedactivity thanks to the 40% growth of transactions linkedto Green Technologies, carbon markets and responsible investments.Several emblematic contracts were signed in areas as variedas the fi nancing of renewable energy infrastructure, the saleof carbon credits for several sovereign and supranational entitiesand the creation of socially or environmentally oriented funds. Theunit was also involved in initiatives aimed at making less developedcountries benefi t from the potential provided by the fi nancialmarkets for commodities.Climate issues and human rightsEfforts to combat global warningThe Climate Principles launched on 2 December 2008 by the<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group and four other leading fi nancial institutionsrecognise the role that the fi nancial sector can play in combatingglobal warming.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has made a commitment to a progressiveapproach to better understand the climate challenges linked to itsloan portfolio. Work began in 2010 with the help of the QuantitativeFinance and Sustainable Development chair on the principleof quantifying the resulting emissions. Not all of the many methodologicaldiffi culties encountered have been resolved at this stageand the goal appears to be especially ambitious for a corporateand investment bank. Nonetheless efforts will continue in 2011.• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, partner ofUniversité Paris Dauphine and EcolePolytechnique Chair of QuantitativeFinance and Sustainable DevelopmentThe specifi c feature of this project, which has been supportedfrom the outset by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, is that it brings togetherquantitative fi nance specialists, mathematicians and sustainabledevelopment specialists. The work is carried out by a team ofsome 20 experienced researchers in France and North Americaand is supervised by a high-quality Scientifi c Committee made upof two professors from the Collège de France, Pierre-Louis Lionsand Roger Guesnerie.The goal of the chair is to promote the development ofmethodologies by fi nancial players for taking into account thenew challenges linked to sustainable development in accordancewith four lines of research:• the long term (introduction of an intergenerational perspectiveinto the traditional problems of fi nance and economics)• external factors (mechanisms for measuring and valuing externalfactors such as CO2 and biodiversity)• energy (measurement and market hedging of energy risks – inparticular electricity – and interaction with the problems of nonrenewableresources)• climate (economic instruments linked to efforts to combat globalwarming).• CA Cheuvreux: pioneering the integrationof climate issues into fi nancialresearchFurther to the 2008 signing of the Responsible Investment Principlesestablished under the aegis of the United Nations, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> Cheuvreux has incorporated Environmental, Social andGovernance (ESG) considerations into its fi nancial research. Itsstock market research publications systematically include ESGanalyses.Thanks to its special expertise in the climate area and its researchinto the carbon market, in 2010 <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Cheuvreux waschosen as it had been in 2009 for the analysis of the Carbon DisclosureProject on the top 300 European stocks.• Financing of renewable energies<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is one of the leaders in the fi nancing of renewableenergies. The bank been involved in this fi eld for abouta decade. It fi nanced its fi rst wind farms in 1997, and fi nanceda solar energy project in Spain in 2008. Financing of renewableenergy forms an integral part of the strategy in Project Finance,220 wind farms for a total of 9,200 MW and 16 solar power plantsfor a total active capacity of 700 MW were fi nanced.24% of project fi nancing provided for power generation projectsnow relates to renewable energies, and the fi gure is 32% in termsof the number of transactions, due to their lower average value.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 33

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2dance with article 13 -paragraph 5- of the Company’s articlesof association and France’s New Economic Regulations Act no.2001-420 of 15 May 2001. The decision followed the shareholders’decision in the May 2002 Shareholders’ meeting to changethe Company from a société anonyme (public limited company)governed by a Supervisory Board and Management Board to asociété anonyme governed by a Board of Directors.The separation of the two functions fully distinguishes betweenthe roles of the CEO and the Chairman of the Board of Directors.The Chairman’s role includes organizing and directing the workdone by the Board of Directors, and ensuring that the Company’sgoverning bodies are operating properly. The separation offunctions also clarifi es the roles of the supervisory body and theexecutive body, and makes them easier to fulfi l. These roles aredefi ned by laws and regulations applicable to the Company, particularlyas regards internal control, including CRBF (Comité de laRéglementation Bancaire et Financière) regulation 97-02.The decision to separate the functions of Chairman and ChiefExecutive Offi cer proved entirely justifi ed in the last three years offi nancial and economic crisis.

2CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Independent Directors within the Board with respect toAFEP/MEDEF recommendationsAt the beginning of 2010, based on the criteria set out in theAFEP/MEDEF report, the Board of Directors determined fi ve independentDirectors. Because of the resignation of Jean-DominiqueComolli on 24 August 2010, there were four independent Directorsat 31 December 2010: Mr. Alphandéry, Mr. Dangeard, Mr.Martin and Mr. Veverka.The recommended proportion of independent Directors on theBoard of Directors is one-third for companies majority-ownedby one shareholder. The Company is more than 97%-owned by<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. and slightly under one-third of its directorsare independent directors during 2010. This divergence fromthe AFEP/MEDEF recommendations refl ects the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group’s desire that the Chairmen or CEOs of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>’sRegional Banks be represented on the Board of Directors of some<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. subsidiaries.31 December 2010 Criterion (1) Criterion (2) Criterion (3) Criterion (4) Criterion (5) (6)Criterion(7) (a) b)Mr. Alphandéry X X X X X X Not applicableMr. Dangeard X X X X X X Not applicableMr. Martin X X X X X X Not applicable(a)– Mr. Veverka is alsoMr. Veverka - (a) an Independent DirectorX X X X Xon the Board of <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.(1) Is not, and has not been in the last fi ve years, an employee or corporate offi cer of the company, an employee or corporate offi cer of the parent company orof a company that consolidates the company.(2) Is not a corporate offi cer of a company in which the company, directly or indirectly, acts as a director or in which an employee designated as such or acorporate offi cer of the company (currently or in the last fi ve years) is a director.(3) Is not a signifi cant client, supplier, corporate banker or investment banker:- for the company or its group,- or whose activities consist signifi cantly of business with the company or its group.(4) Has no close family relationship with a corporate offi cer.(5) Has not been an auditor of the company in the last fi ve years.(6) Has not been a director of the company for more than 12 years.(7) a/ Directors representing major shareholders of the company or of the parent company may be considered independent if they do not take part in the controlof the company. If the shareholder owns more than 10% of the capital or voting rights, the Board of Directors, based on a report by the appointmentscommittee, shall systematically investigate the director’s independence taking into account the company’s ownership structure and the existence of apotential confl ict of interest.b/ The Board of Directors may take the view that a director who fulfi ls the criteria below should not be deemed independent because of his/her particularsituation or that of the company, given the company’s ownership structure or for any other reason. Conversely, the Board may take the view that a directorwho does not fulfi l the criteria below is nevertheless independent.Recent change in the composition of the BoardDuring 2011, the Board of Directors will review its composition onthe basis of the changes of recommendations and regulations.Shares held by directorsDirectors must own at least one share each in the company, inaccordance with the provisions of the articles of association.Operation of the Board of DirectorsCalling Board meetings and frequency of BoardmeetingsThe Articles of Association state that the Board shall meet wheneverthe interests of the Company so require and that meetingsshall be called by the Chairman or by any person authorised to doso by the Board of Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2Organisation of the internal control systemBasic principlesThe organisational principles and components of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s internal control systems, which are common to all <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> Group entities, are as follows:• reporting to the decision-making body (risk strategies, limitsdefi ned and their use, internal control activities and results);• the direct involvement of the executive body in the organisationand operation of the internal control system;• complete coverage of activities and risks;• responsibility of all persons involved;• clear defi nition of tasks;• separation of commitment and control functions;• formal and up-to-date delegations of powers;• formal and up-to-date standards and procedures, especially foraccounting and information processing.These principles are supplemented by:• measurement, supervision and control mechanisms for credit,market, liquidity, fi nancial and operational risks (transactionprocessing, information systems processes), accounting risk(including quality of fi nancial and accounting information), noncompliancerisks and legal risks;• a control system, forming part of a dynamic and corrective process,that includes permanent controls performed by operatingunits or dedicated staff, and periodic controls (Group FinancialControl, Audit).The internal control system is also designed to ensure that thecompensation policy is consistent with risk management andcontrol objectives, particularly with regard to market operators.At the beginning of 2009, the Bank initiated a project to review theconditions of the existing system, concurrently with cross-industrywork. In keeping with the recommendations of the FédérationBancaire Française (FBF) and the Rules of Procedure of the Boardof Directors , the Bank created the Global Compensation ReviewGovernance Committee, which is chaired by the Chief ExecutiveOffi cer. Its members include the Deputy Chief Executive Offi cersand the Heads of the Risk Management and Permanent Controls,Human Resources and Global Compliance Departments. Its roleis to insure that proposals submitted to the Compensation Committeeare consistent with the principles of the compensationpolicy (circular sent out in September).The internal control system is also designed to ensure that thecorrective measures adopted are applied within a reasonabletime.Monitoring of the systemIn order to ensure that the internal control system is consistentand effi cient and that the above-mentioned principles are appliedby all entities within the scope of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s internalcontrol system, three separate persons responsible for PeriodicControl (Audit-Inspection), Permanent Risk Control and ComplianceControl have been appointed.The Internal Control Committee, chaired by the Chief ExecutiveOffi cer, is responsible for:• reviewing internal control procedures and the control systemimplemented;• examining the main risks to which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is exposedand any changes in risk measurement systems;• deciding on remedial measures to be taken to addressweaknesses identifi ed during audits, either in internal controlreports or as a result of problems that have occurred;• monitoring the fulfi lment of commitments made following internaland external audits;• taking any decisions necessary to make up for weaknesses ininternal control.Its members are the Heads of Group Internal Audit, Internal Audit,Corporate Secretary, Finance, Risk Management and PermanentControls, Compliance and Fraud Prevention, Legal and, dependingon the matters under discussion, the heads of other Bankunits.The Committee met four times in 2010.Local internal control committees have also been set up in severalsubsidiaries and branches, both in France and abroad.Role of the supervisory body:Board of DirectorsThe Board of Directors is kept informed of the organisation, activitiesand results of internal control and of the main risks faced bythe Bank. It approves the general organisation of the bank and ofits internal control system.Within the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has the taskof examining and monitoring the internal control and risk managementsystem and taking note of the work of the heads of internalcontrol (the description of the Audit Committee’s responsibilitiesis detailed on page 43 – Responsibilities of the Audit Committee)and to monitor any event of fraud, or any other event whether ornot detected by internal control procedures in accordance withthe criteria and signifi cance thresholds defi ned by the Board.In addition to regular information given to the Board of Directorsmostly on global risk limits and exposures, the following annualreports are systematically submitted to the Audit Committee:• a report on the conditions under which internal control is carriedout,• a report on risk measurement and monitoring,• a report by the person in charge of compliance for investmentservices on the organisation of this function, its duties and responsibilities,any observations and the measures adopted.These annual reports relative to 2010 will be presented to theAudit Committee meeting in April 2011 and to the Board ofDirectors’ meeting in May 2011. The half-yearly report on internalcontrol at 30 June 2010 was examined by the 8 November 2010Audit Committee meeting.In 2010, quarterly reports on risk management and the mainexposures were presented to the Board meetings of 11 May,24 August and 9 November 2010.

2CORPORATE GOVERNANCE2011 (see page 39– Activity of the Board of Directors in 2010and page 43 - Activity and Functioning of the Audit Committeein 2010).In addition the Board is informed of any signifi cant event of fraudor any other event detected by internal control procedures inaccordance with the criteria and thresholds that have been set.The system for reporting this information to corporate bodiesis described in the company’s internal documentation (directive3.1.12.1 and circular memo no. 3.1.12.3).Role of the executive body:Executive ManagementThe executive body is directly involved in the organisation andoperation of the internal control system.It ensures that risk strategies and limits are compatible with theCompany’s fi nancial situation (level of shareholders’ equity, results)and the strategies defi ned by the governing body.The executive body defi nes the Company’s general organisationand ensures that it is implemented in an effi cient way andby competent individuals. It clearly assigns roles and responsibilitiesin the area of internal control and allocates the appropriateresources to the system. It verifi es that risk identifi cation and measurementprocedures appropriate to the Company’s activities andorganisation are adopted.It also verifi es that it regularly receives the key information producedby these systems. It ensures that the internal control systemis continuously monitored, to verify its suitability and effectiveness.The Executive Management is informed of the main problemsidentifi ed by internal control procedures and the remedial measuresproposed by the Internal Control Committee, inter alia.Scope and global organisationof <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s internalcontrol systemsIn accordance with the principles applied within the Group, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s internal control system applies to its branchesand subsidiaries in France and other countries, irrespective ofwhether they are under its sole control or joint control. The systemis intended to govern and control activities, and to measure andmonitor risks on a consolidated basis.Each entity within the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group applies this principleto its own subsidiaries, thus creating a pyramidal internalcontrol structure and reinforcing consistency between differentGroup entities.In this way, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> ensures that it has an adequatesystem within each of its risk-bearing subsidiaries, and those activities,risks and controls are identifi ed and monitored on a consolidatedbasis within these subsidiaries, particularly as regardsaccounting and fi nancial information.Brief description of internal control and risk management proceduresimplemented within the CompanyDetailed information on credit, market, operational and liquidityrisk management is provided in the Management Report and thedocuments appended to the fi nancial statements.The internal control system is based on three levels of controls,which distinguish permanent control from periodic control.Permanent control is carried out as follows:• fi rst-degree permanent controls are carried out when a transactionis initiated and while the transaction is being validated. Theyare carried out by the operators themselves, by the hierarchywithin the unit or by automated transaction processing systems;• second-degree, fi rst-level permanent controls are carried out bystaff who are separate from those that initiated the transactionsand who may perform operational activities;• second-degree, second-level permanent controls are carriedout by staff working exclusively at the fi nal level of specialistpermanent control with no authorisation to make commitmentsinvolving the taking of risk (credit or market risk control, accountingcontrol, compliance control etc.);• periodic (third-degree) controls cover occasional onsite audits ofaccounting records relating to all of the company’s activities andfunctions by Group Internal Audit.First-degree controlsFirst-degree controls are carried out by each employee on thetransactions he/she handles, by referring to the applicable procedures.They apply to front-offi ce units operating within followingbusiness lines: Coverage & Investment Banking, StructuredFinance, Equity Brokerage and Derivatives, Fixed Income Markets,Transaction & Commercial Banking, Distressed Assets andInternational Private Banking. The controls essentially consist ofoperational checks by operators or account executives on theirpositions and limits.They also apply within support functionsAt the local level, the head of the entity is responsible for fi rst-degreecontrols, while the head of the business line is responsibleat central level.Operating staff are therefore expected to remain vigilant at alltimes with regard to the transactions they handle. This shouldtake the form of compliance with all procedures introduced toensure the procedural compliance, security, validity and completenessof transactions. Each line manager must check, for theactivities for which he/she has responsibility, that his/her staff areaware of and comply with the rules and internal procedures forprocessing transactions.48SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2Second-degree, first-level controlsAs well as having responsibility for the administrative processingof all transactions, back offi ces perform checks on the activitiesof the front offi ces during the recording and execution of transactions,namely by comparing data in front-offi ce databases withback-offi ce data and information provided by the counterparties.These controls are coordinated locally by the entity’s head, via theChief Operating Offi cer or the offi cer responsible for administrationor fi nance.Second-degree, second-levelcontrolsThese controls are carried out centrally by specialised units:• Role and responsibilities relating to therisk managementRole and responsibilities relating to the riskmanagementThe Risk Management and Permanent Controls Division (RPC) isresponsible for supervising risks within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.The purpose of this division is to control credit risks, country risks,market risks, and operational and accounting risks. However,structural fi nancial risks are managed by the fi nance department.To control these risks, it oversees the Group’s commercial developmentin order to minimise risk-related costs relating to the activitiesof the different business lines, entities or units.The RPC is also in charge of monitoring the risk management andpermanent control system, defi ned above, for the whole of <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.The risk management and permanent controls organisation within<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> forms part of the risk management andpermanent controls function set up within the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.Group.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> holds certain powers in managing its risks.Any cases outside the scope of its powers, as well as certainsignifi cant risk strategies, are validated by the « Group Risk ManagementCommittee«.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Head of Risk management and permanentcontrolss reports hierarchically to the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. Headof Group Risk Management and Permanent Controlss and functionallyto <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Executive Management. It is partof the bank’s executive committee (Comex). The Head of RiskManagement and Permanent Controlss is responsible for therisks sector and permanent controls within the meaning of CRBFregulation 97-02 as amended.Within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, RPC is organised as an independentglobal business line. It combines all head offi ce risk functions andactivities, as well as local and regional offi cers in the internationalnetwork. At 31 December 2010, RPC had a worldwide staff of999 (full-time equivalents).<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has implemented a set of procedures thatdetermines risk monitoring, risk control and permanent controlarrangements. The set of procedures is updated regularly to improverisk measurement and supervision.Governance<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> governance bodies (Audit Committee andBoard of Directors) receive a report on Risk Management andmain exposures quarterly, a report on Risk situation semi-annuallyand specifi c monographs when needed.Risk management is structured around the two following bodies:• a Strategic Risk Management Committee (CSR), which enhancesrisk supervision and supplements the governance system,• a Strategy and Portfolio Committee (CSP), which oversees eachlocation/country, each signifi cant subsidiary within a specifi cstrategyDecision-making process is based on selected cases by dedicatedcommittees:• Business and geographical Committees are in charge of retailfi nancing within the limit granted to each manager;• the most signifi cant fi les are reviewed by the Counterparty RiskCommittee (CRC)• the Market Risk Committee (CRM) monitors market exposurestwice a month.In addition to the Committees in charge of risks (CSR, CSP, CRC,CRM), risk management is also presented to the following ExecutiveManagement bodies:• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Executive Committee (Comex)• Internal Control Committee• Faîtier Central Permanent Control Committee which validatesthe work assigned to permanent controls and reviews the permanentcontrol systems of the business lines, subsidiaries orbranches and cross-functional issues.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is part of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. risk mangementprocess which is structured by the following bodies:• The Group Risk Management Committee (CRG). <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> mainly presents to the committee its approvals, its mainlimit risk strategies, its budgets by country, the corporate significant outstanding, the sensitive cases as well as the marketrisk situation;• The Supervisory Risk Management Committee which reviewscounterparties which present signs of deterioration or a need ofarbitrage between entities of the Group;• The Standards and Methodology Committee (CNM) to which<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> submits for decision any proposal of methodologyas regards to qualifi cation under the Basel Committeebefore implementation in <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>;• The <strong>CIB</strong> Business Line Monitoring Committee which reviews<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> risk situation as well as the progress ofsome of these processes.Risk master planThe risk master plan was launched in late 2007 to address theneed to adopt a view of the medium- to long-term trends inrisk management. The aim is to accelerate improvements andto ensure consistency among the main areas for improvement,enabling <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> to assess its risks more quickly andwith greater precision while taking into account the strategicdecisions of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Refocusing and Developmentplan.It covers three broad areas: organisational aspects that needto be adjusted, processes that need to be streamlined and ITsystems that need to be speeded up or introduced. It deals withthe major types of risks: counterparty risk (including on capitalmarkets transactions), market risks and operational risks. Itcovers related projects whose risk-management aspects aredependent on the plan.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 49


2CORPORATE GOVERNANCEThe master plan is managed by Risk Management and PermanentControls in project mode. It encompasses some twenty projectsand programmes covering about one hundred projects.Governance is provided by a steering committee that meetsmonthly and is chaired by a member of Executive Management.Achievements have made it possible to reach the objectives setat the beginning: more cross-divisional orientation of the riskdepartment, better ability to understand and manage counterpartyrisks on capital markets transactions, strengthening of themanagement and monitoring of market risks and streamlining ofthe loan approval process across the corporate scope with theimplementation of new loan approval workfl ow software (Phidias).Objectives currently being pursued have primarily to do with: theBMA project whose objective is to improve authorisation controls,regulatory requirements with respect to market risks (CAP2010 project) and the fi nalisation of the Basel II Pillar 1 system,the implementation of a regulatory EPE, the introduction of anadvanced approach to liquidity ratios, actions to prevent fraudand enhanced permanent control capabilities (deployment ofScope and Europ@ applications).Counterparty risksAny counterparty or group of counterparties is subject tolimitations within the framework of specifi c procedures.The decision-making process requires two authorised front-offi cesignatures (one relating to analysis of commitments, the otherbeing that of the Chairman of the relevant Committee), as well asthe independent opinion of the RPC.If the RPC’s opinion is negative, the decision-making power ispassed on to the Chairman of the Committee immediately above.Credit decisions are subject to risk strategies that set the mainguidelines (target customer base, types of approved products,total budgets and expected unit values etc.), which eachgeographical unit or business line must apply to its activities.When a case is considered to be outside the framework of the riskstrategy in force, intermediary authorisations do not apply and adecision can only be made by the Executive Management-levelcommittee (CRC).The RPC also identifi es, as soon as possible, assets that maydeteriorate and initiates the most suitable measures to protectthe Bank’s interests.The process for monitoring receivables is enhanced by a systemof portfolio and sub-portfolio analyses on group-wide businessline, geographical or sector basis. Analysing concentrations and,if applicable, recommendations for the reorganisation of theportfolio are an integral part of this exercise.In addition, portfolio reviews are organised periodically for eachprofi t centre in order to verify that the portfolio complies with therisk strategy in force. The rating of certain counterparties underreview may be adjusted at this time.Sensitive cases and major risks are monitored every quarter.Other risks are reviewed on an annual basis.The adequacy of the level of reserves in relation to risk isassessed every quarter by the Executive Management, on therecommendation of the RPC.This approach also involves stress tests, aimed at assessingthe impact of unfavourable macroeconomic assumptions andquantifying the risks to which the bank may be exposed in anunfavourable climate.Country risksCountry risks are subject to an assessment and monitoringsystem based on a specifi c rating methodology. Country ratingsthat are updated at least quarterly have a direct consequence onthe limits applied to each country for the validation of their riskstrategy.Market riskUpstream market risk management takes place through severalcommittees that assess risks associated with activities, productsand strategies before they are introduced or implemented:• the New Activity and New Product Committees, organised bythe business lines’ permanent control function, pre-approvebusiness developments for the Market Risk teams;• the Market Risk committee co-ordinates the whole market riskmanagement system and approves market risk limitations;• the Pricer Validation Committee approves the new models usedfor capital market products before they come into use.Risk management is carried out using a variety of riskmeasurements:• global measurements using Value at Risk (VaR) or stressscenarios; VaR measurements are drawn up with a 1%probability of occurring in any one day; stress scenariomeasurements include global stress (historical, hypothetical andadverse) and specifi c stress for each activity;• specifi c measurements using sensitivity indicators,measurements of notional amounts and stop-loss limits.Lastly, the Valuations and Pricing Committees defi ne and monitorthe application of portfolio valuation rules for each product range.Operational riskOperational risk management relies mainly on a network ofPermanent Control correspondents co-coordinated by the RPC.Operational risks are monitored for each business line and eachregion, which ensures the reporting of losses and incidents, aswell as their analysis by Internal Control Committees.Each quarter, the RPC produces an operational risk scorecardshowing movements in operational risk-related costs andassociated key events.Remedial action following signifi cant incidents is monitoredclosely, in conjunction with business lines and support functions.The operational risk map covering all business lines at head offi ce,the international network and subsidiaries is revised every year.Together with the compliance and legal functions, the RPC takesinto account non-compliance risks and legal risks.50SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2Outsourced Essential ServicesThe outsourcing policy is governed by a directive published inJanuary 2008, which was supplemented in 2009 by an ImplementationNote on the formal documentation of the OutsourcedEssential Services control system. The system that providesfor reporting on the quality of services and the compliance ofcontracts, inter alia was implemented in 2010.Regulatory capital requirementsWithin the framework of Basel II regulations, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>uses an approach based on internal models approved by theFrench Prudential Supervisory Authority for calculating capitalrequirements with respect to credit risk and also with respect tooperational risk. These models are an integral part of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s risk management system and are regularly monitoredto ensure both their performance and their effective use. They arerevised as needed.With regard to credit risk, certain credit models were reviewed in2010 in order to achieve a more precise management of our risks.The proper application of the Basel II system is monitored regularlywithin the framework of a Basel II data quality committee.Moreover the CAP 2010 project initiated in 2009 in response todevelopments in the standards applicable to the calculation ofequity with respect to market risks was continued in 2010 and isexpected to be fi nalised in 2011. Its application will be submittedto the approval of the French Prudential Supervisory Authority.• Finance Division: internal control ofaccounting and fi nancial information,global interest-rate risk and liquidity risk.Roles and responsibilities relating to the preparationand processing of accounting and financialinformationWithin the Finance Division, Group Financial Control is responsiblefor preparing <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s parent-company andconsolidated fi nancial statements and for sending to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A. the information needed to prepare the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements. The Finance Divisionsof consolidated entities are also responsible for preparing theirfi nancial statements and sending their data received for consolidationto Group Financial Control.In accordance with Group recommendations regarding permanentcontrols, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> puts in place the resources toensure that accounting and management information transmittedto the Group for consolidation purposes is reliable. More specifi -cally, it must ensure that data conform to accounting standardsand are consistent with the individual accounts approved by itsdecision-making body, and is responsible for reconciling accountingand management data.Final-level permanent controls on accounting and fi nancial information(Second-degree, second-level controls) is carried out bya dedicated team that reports functionally to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’sHead of Permanent Controls and up the line to the Chief FinancialOffi cer.A directive relating to the organisation of permanent accountingand fi nancial controls, adopted in August 2008, defi nes thescope of permanent accounting and fi nancial controls and thepermanent control system adopted at Group level and within theentities.Procedures for the preparation and processing offinancial informationThe organisation of IT procedures and systems used for the preparationand processing of accounting and fi nancial informationis provided in procedure manual and in a mapping of accountingrisks.Most fi nancial information published by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> isbased on accounting data and on management data.Accounting data<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> prepares parent-company and consolidatedfi nancial statements using the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group’s accountingstandards, which are circulated by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Accountingand Consolidation department. The accounting treatment ofcomplex instruments and transactions undergoes prior analysisby the Accounting Standards unit of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s FinanceDepartment. Each <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group entity produces aconsolidation package, which feeds into the common systemof <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group which is owned by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.Its instructions are disseminated by Group Financial Control toentities’ fi nance divisions, specifying the type of information to becollected, particularly with a view to preparing the notes to theconsolidated fi nancial statements.In 2010, the Financial Control function of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>continued its efforts to organise and develop its information systems,and in particular the automation of a certain number of processesand the implementation of the new regulatory reportingsystem, SURFI. Projects to overhaul the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Parisaccounting platform and to change the regulatory ratio consolidationand production software within the framework of the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> Group project continued throughout 2010.Management dataEach entity reconciles the main items of its management resultswith the intermediate income statement balances produced fromaccounting data. Group Financial Control checks that the sum ofbusiness-line results equals the sum of entity results, which mustin turn be equal to the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group’s consolidatedresults. This check is made easier by the fact that the analyticalunit (profi t centre) is integrated within the entities’ accountinginformation system. Management data are prepared using calculationmethods that ensure they are comparable over time.When published data are not extracted directly from accountinginformation, the sources and defi nition of calculation methods aregenerally mentioned to facilitate understanding.The management data published by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> are subjectto permanent controls (primarily those arising from the applicationof IFRS 7) that ensure the quality of their reconciliation withaccounting data, their compliance with management standardsset by the executive body and the reliability of management informationcalculations.Description of the permanent accounting controlsystemPermanent accounting controls are intended to provide adequateprotection against the major accounting risks that may damagethe quality of accounting and fi nancial information, presentedbelow:SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 51


2CORPORATE GOVERNANCE• compliance of data with laws, regulations and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group standards;• reliability and accuracy of data, allowing a true and fair viewof the results and fi nancial position of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> andentities within its scope of consolidation;• security of data preparation and processing methods, limitingoperational risks with respect to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s commitmentsregarding published information;• prevention of fraud and accounting irregularities.To meet these objectives, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> applied the generalrecommendations for the deployment of permanent controls inthe area of the control of accounting and fi nancial information.Among the main actions carried out in 2010 were the updating ofthe operational risk map covering the risks of fraud, the completionof the accounting control plan within the Finance department,the deployment of a monitoring system (indicators, questionnaires)covering the international network and the developmentof management reports on accounting and fi nancial information.Final-level accounting control is based on the assessment of risksand controls relating to accounting processes managed by operationaldepartments:• fi rst-degree accounting controls performed by decentralisedaccounting centres, reporting to divisions/business lines,• second-degree, fi rst-level controls performed by the Accountingand Finance Division.This assessment is designed to enable <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Headof Permanent Control to defi ne a control plan and any remedialmeasures needed to strengthen, as necessary, the system forpreparing and processing accounting and fi nancial information.Permanent control reporting documents cover the progress ofwork on permanent accounting controls and assessments on thepermanent accounting control system within the entity.Relations with the statutory auditorsIn accordance with French professional standards, the StatutoryAuditors perform procedures they deem appropriate on publishedfi nancial and accounting information:• audit of the individual accounts and consolidated accounts;• partial audit of half-year consolidated fi nancial statements;• review of all published fi nancial informationAs part of their statutory assignment, the Statutory Auditors submitthe conclusions of their work to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Boardof Directors.Global interest-rate riskTo measure the global interest-rate risk, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> usesthe statistical gap method, by calculating an interest-rate gap,and draws up stress scenarios. The interest-rate gaps and theresults of the stress tests are presented to the ALM Committeewhich decides on the management/hedging measures to betaken.The main signifi cant points in 2010 notably had to do with thecompletion of certain methodological efforts, the improvementin the quality of the data reported by entities to the internationaldivision, and the consolidation of a new subsidiary in the globalinterest-rate risk measurement scope of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> (fi nalisationplanned in 2011). In addition, controls were put into placeon all key operational processes.In 2011, the main actions planned concern the fi nalisation of themodelling of the interest-rate position on the Banking Book scopeof the Distressed Assets business line at <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, thereview of the fl ow models of International Private Banking entitiesand the improvement in the production conditions for interest-rategaps in Paris.Liquidity riskThe management of liquidity risk within the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>Group has been placed under the responsibility of the FinanceDepartment’s Asset-Liability Management (ALM) department,which reports to the ALM Committee.Liquidity risk is managed by using the following management indicators:• forecast stressed liquidity gaps three months out, whose resultsare circulated daily, and the Short-term Limit which attemptsto manage the amount of short-term market fi nancing used by<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>,• the 20-year long-term market funding plan and the long-termfi nancing plan,• the overall medium-/long-term liquidity transformation gap andthe ratios of medium-/long-term transformation in non-liquidcurrencies,• the Contingency Funding Plan (CFP).In 2010, the monitoring system notably relied on several controlsof key existing processes carried out at different levels. Local ALMCommittee meetings were also more closely monitored by thehead offi ce in terms of their frequency and the issues addressed.Within the framework of the 5 May 2009 decree, the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group decided to put into place an advanced method forthe consolidated Group scope. As one of the entities making upthe management scope of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> continued throughout 2010 to apply a project structurededicated to the implementation of the advanced approach, inconjunction with the Group.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s normative Permanent Control system issimilar to the Group system. The minimum control indicators arethe same and are applied to the major processes in the samemanner.At the time of writing this report, the liquidity risk control environmentwas in the process of being defi ned within the frameworkof the Internal Liquidity Model and the implementation of the advancedapproach, and the strengthening of controls will be a keyissue for 2011.• The Information Security and ContinuitydivisionThe Information Security and Continuity (ISEC) division handles ITsecurity and business continuity issues. It reports to the CorporateSecretary of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.In carrying out its permanent control functions, ISEC relies on anetwork of correspondents in France and internationally.As regards information security, ISEC defi nes rules and coordinatesefforts to maintain an adequate security level, primarilythrough a secondary review of information risk analyses. Internetsystems and critical internal servers are covered by large-scalespecifi c checks. ISEC also supervises the workfl ow for grantingaccess authorisations to the Bank’s IT applications and coordinatesperiodic reviews of employee authorisations to access sensitiveapplications.52SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2The major achievement in 2010 was the determination of the listof essential applications (critical and/or sensitive) at <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> Paris and London, in liaison with the support functions.The major objective for 2011 is the management and coordinationof projects making it possible to follow the recommendationsof the French Prudential Supervisory Authority that are linked to ITsecurity within the framework of a single project.In terms of business continuity, substantial resources have beenallocated with a view to ensuring the recovery of activities withinthe timeframe set by the business lines in the event of a disaster.Annual tests make it possible to verify <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’srecovery ability both in France and abroad. A specifi c BusinessContinuity Plan has been devised in order to deal with a pandemicrisk. The plan’s objectives are to guarantee employees’ safety byputting into place specifi c protective measures and ensuring thecontinuity of the bank’s core activities.Among other things, 2010 provided the opportunity to put intoplace a shared Paris/London platform with the objective of improvingthe resilience of both sites.The main objective for 2011 will be to monitor the Business ContinuityPlans of our critical suppliers.An annual assessment makes it possible to verify the effectivenessof the system for information security and businesscontinuity. The division reports on <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s level ofsecurity to a bi-monthly committee chaired by a member of theExecutive Committee.• Global compliance departmentThe Global Compliance division is organised as a separatebusiness line within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.It helps:• to ensure that the Bank and its employees comply withprofessional obligations and with guidance given by thesupervisory and executive bodies• to detect any risk of non-compliance with legal and regulatoryobligations or with professional standards. Its actions mainlyinvolve money laundering, fraud and terrorist fi nancingprevention, protecting investors from insider trading, pricemanipulation and the dissemination of false information, or anyother breach that is liable to be harmful to investors or clients’interests, and to ensure market integrity and effectiveness.Specifi c measures for the management and monitoring oftransactions have been put into place: staff training, theadoption of written Rules of Procedure, obligatory declarationsto the responsible authorities, etc.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Chief Compliance Offi cer reports up the lineto <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Chief Executive Offi cer and functionally to<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Chief Compliance Offi cer.He is assisted by:• a Financial Security Offi cer;• a compliance offi cer for Capital Market Activities (who hasaccess to a global organisation as part of a Paris-Londonplatform);• a head of fraud prevention;• a compliance offi cer for Coverage and Investment bankingactivities who is mainly in charge of detecting and preventingconfl icts of interest;• offi cer of the central team, in charge of Corporate Secretary,compliance controls (a centralised team of permanentcontrollers), as well as, compliance of Financing and CommercialBanking activitiesThe Head of Global Compliance also has functional supervisoryauthority over the compliance offi cers of:• the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> head offi ce central support functionsand business (compliance correspondents detached within thebusiness lines);• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> entities in the international network (LCO,Local Compliance Offi cers);• the subsidiaries belonging to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s scope ofinternal control.At the end of 2010, 313 employees (full-time equivalent) workedin Global Compliance.The Compliance function systematically attends all meetings ofthe Internal Control Committees of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s businesslines and of the Permanent Control Committees. It is also involvedin the bodies responsible for sustainable development; in this respectits head chairs the ethics committee for transactions presentingan environmental or social risk.Its main governing body is the Compliance Management Committee,in which the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> legal (LGL), permanentcontrol (RPC), and audit functions participate. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A.’s Compliance Division is also a standing member of thisCommittee.The permanent control function within Global Compliance isreinforced by the existence of dedicated Compliance permanentcontrol units, in France, in the USA and in London. Compliancerisks are assessed jointly by the compliance offi cers and businesslines included in an annual risk map, which is used in the preparationof compliance control plans.2010 was marked by major formative projects resulting bothfrom regulatory developments and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s desireto strengthen its compliance control system at the global level:deployment of the third directive relative to the prevention ofmoney-laundering and the fi ght against the fi nancing of terrorism(overhaul of documents and software relative to KYC, moneylaunderingrisk map), professional certifi cation of traders, deploymentof measures to prevent fraud and the strengthening of measuresto prevent confl icts of interest. The system’s managementhas been tightened in terms of the mapping of the compliancefunction and global training for fraud and money-laundering inparticular).In 2011, in addition to the continuation of these key projects,efforts will be continued with respect to fi nancial security with aview to completing the project for the global rollout of anti-money-launderingsoftware, in particular the review of KYC/KYB fi les.Measures in the fi ght against corruption and the control of remunerationswill also be strengthened.• Legal FunctionIts duties include managing legal risk within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> inaccordance with CRBF regulation 97-02 as amended, and providingthe necessary support to business lines to enable them tooperate with minimal legal risk and cost.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 53


2CORPORATE GOVERNANCEThe legal function is organised in business lines.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Head of Legal reports up the line to the DeputyChief Executive Offi cer of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.The Head of Legal has hierarchical or functional authority, as thecase may be, over head-offi ce legal offi cers and the legal offi cersof <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group entities, and over local legal offi cers.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s system for the permanent control and managementof legal and compliance risks forms part of the frameworkdefi ned by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.The Legal Function contributes to ensuring that the Bank’s businessactivities and operations comply with the applicable lawsand regulations. It performs permanent controls on legal risks arisingfrom <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s activities, products, services andtransactions, along with the operational risks generated by thelegal function itself.It also performs legal consultations to Business Lines, involvementin legal negotiations of transactions, legal watch operations,staff training, standard contract modelling, legal policies andprocedures issuing, the collaboration to decision-making bodiesand procedures as required by the Bank’s governance rules. TheLegal function systematically takes part in the process of approvingnew products and activities and in major lending decisions.In 2010, the system of permanent controls and control of legalrisks continued to be strengthened. In particular:• the organisation of the legal function continued from the internationaland global management perspective: in particular withinthe framework of the Paris/London platform project and throughthe publication of governance documents on its operational andorganisational aspects;• the legal function carried out a legal review of new products andactivities at international level;• the effectiveness of capital markets legal documentation wasenhanced thanks to the improved streamlining of their tradingprocess in the Legal Data Base (LDB).In 2011, the Legal department will implement the action plan defi -ned in the risk map developed in 2010.Third degree• Periodic controlGroup Internal Audit has responsibility expediting inspectionsacross all <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group units. It also has direct hierarchicalresponsibility for all audit units, both local and regional,belonging to both <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> and its subsidiaries.Neither Group Internal Audit nor the audit units have any responsibilityor authority over the activities they control.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Internal Audit unit is an integral part of the<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. Group’s Audit/Inspection business line. <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Head of Group Internal Audit, who is in chargeof periodic control at <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, reports up the line toCredit <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Head of Group Internal Audit and functionallyto <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Chief Executive Offi cer, to whomhe submits his briefs on work and investigations carried out byInternal Audit.Nearly 220 people work in the Group’s internal audit units. Ofthese, approximately 80 are based at the head offi ce.To fulfi l these missions, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Internal Audit is organisedinto two divisions: 1) the Central Audit Team and 2) theregional audit units and subsidiaries’ audit units.• Central teamGroup Internal Audit has a central team of 70 auditors (followingthe merger of the France audit teams and the central team) andhas the task of assessing the effectiveness of the internal controlsystem within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> and all its subsidiaries.

32010 MANAGEMENT REPORT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> GROUPBUSINESS REVIEW AND FINANCIALINFORMATION• PRESENTATION OF THE CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong>GROUP’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTSChanges to accounting principlesand policiesPursuant to EC regulation 1606/2002, the annual consolidatedfi nancial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRSstandards and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the EuropeanUnion (the « carve-out« version) and uses certain dispensations ofIAS 39 as regards macro-hedge accounting.The standards and interpretations are identical to those usedand described in the Group fi nancial statements at 31 December2009, except for the change in option for the recognition ofactuarial gains and losses on the post-employment-benefi ts ofthe defi ned-benefi t plans. According to IAS 19, actuarial gainsand losses on defi ned-benefi t plans can be recognised:• Either in profi t and loss in their entirety;• Or in profi t and loss for a portion determined according to the« corridor« approach;• Or in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) in theirentirety.Until 31 December 2009, all the actuarial gains and losses wereaccounted for by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> in the profi t and loss of theperiod.To provide information more comparable with the principles appliedby the other companies, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has decidedto record the actuarial gains and losses in « unrealized gains andlosses recorded directly in shareholders’ equity«. This approach isapplied permanently and homogeneously to all the pension plansas of 1 January 2010.This change in accounting option is in accordance with the accountingstandard IAS 8, with a retrospective application.These standards and interpretations have been supplemented bythe provisions of those IFRS as endorsed by the European Unionat 31 December 2010 and that must be applied in 2010 for thefi rst time.The application of these new provisions did not produce any materialimpact over the accounting period, except for the revisionsof standards IAS 27 and IFRS 3.The prospective application of revised IAS 27 and IFRS 3 to acquisitionseffective as of 1 January 2010 has resulted in a changeof accounting method for the Group. The main issues are:• the initial recognition of non-controlling interests• the acquisition-related costs• certain transactions must be recognised separately from thebusiness combination• the methods of recognising a business combination achieved instages or partial disposals resulting in loss of control• the allocation of price adjustment clauses, when they are fi nancialinstruments, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 39.During the year 2010, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> did not carry out anysignifi cant transactions that are liable to be concerned by thischange of accounting method.Changes in the scope ofconsolidationChanges in the scope of consolidation during the year are describedbelow:• Entries in 2010The following new created companies were added to the scopeof consolidation:• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Services Private Ltd,• Cheuvreux/CLSA Global Portfolio Trading Pte Ltd.• Disposals in 2010The following company, whose business activities were no longermaterial, is deconsolidated:• Chauray Contrôle SAS.The following companies are removed out of the scope of consolidationbecause they were liquidated in the fourth quarter of 2010:• Calyon Bank Polska SA,• EDELAAR EESV.The following three companies merged and are removed out ofthe scope of consolidation:• CAAM Distribution AV,• CAAM Espana Holding,• Doumer Philemon SAS.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Saudi Fransi Limited which is held for sale isdeconsolidated at 31 December 2010.Finally, because the Caisse Régionale du <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> deFranche Comté acquired shares of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> FinancementSuisse, our voting interest declined below the consolidation requirementsto be accounted for under the equity method, thissubsidiary is removed of the scope of consolidation accordingly.78SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• Corporate name changeThe corporate name of the Company changed on 6 February2010. As of this date, its corporate name « Calyon« has became« <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bank«.The names of the subsidiaries that changed during 2010 are providedin note 2.1 on the changes in the scope of consolidation.• ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENTDuring the fi rst half of 2010, the news was dominated by thesovereign debt crisis in Europe, which began in Greece beforespreading to all heavily indebted countries in the eurozone (Ireland,Portugal and, to a lesser extent, Spain). This rise in tensionsresulted in an explosion in risk premiums for bonds from statesjudged at risk and in fl ight-to-safe-haven purchases of best-ratedsovereign debt (the yield on German Bunds, for example, fellbelow 2.6% in mid-year). The concerns also gradually shifted toEuropean banks that carry this sovereign risk. The euro was significantly penalised and lost over 15% of its value against the USdollar in six months to touch a low point of 1.19 at the beginningof June.In response, European leaders created a stabilisation fund totalling€750 billion: €440 billion in a fund guaranteed by the memberstates (the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF)) to whichthe European Union added €60 billion and the InternationalMonetary Fund around €250 billion. In addition Greece is benefitting from a dedicated emergency aid programme worth €110billion which should cover its fi nancing requirements until the endof 2012. The European Central Bank for its part has reactivateda certain number of liquidity support measures and has alsoannounced a programme to buy back public and private securitieson secondary markets. This aid programme, which comeswith stringent conditions (recipient countries must implement aprogramme for budget streamlining and structural reforms), enablinggovernments to take the necessary budget measures to putpublic debt back on a sustainable path without being under pressurefrom the markets. This response has brought relative calmto the markets: whilst the stabilisation plan wards off any liquiditycrisis in the short term, concerns about the longer term solvencyof certain eurozone member states have not disappeared.During the summer a series of poor US fi gures rekindled doubtsas to the sustainable nature of the recovery in the United States,with the spectre of the recession returning. Markets were quick toquestion the Fed’s decision to increase the scale of its securitiespurchases (quantitative easing programme –QE) to stimulate activityin a context of high unemployment and very low infl ation. Thisput the US dollar under pressure (which fell as low as 1.42 againstthe euro at the beginning of November) and kept long-term ratesdown (low point of 2.38% at the beginning of October). Followingits meeting on 2-3 November 2010 and in line with expectations,the Fed announced its intention to acquire an additional €600billion of long-term US treasury bills up until June 2011, whilstleaving open the possibility of adjusting the scale of this programmeeither upwards or downward to pursue its objectives offull employment and stability of prices. The markets respondedfavourably to the news and to the better than expected cyclicalindicators, revising their growth forecasts for the United Statesupwards. These were further strengthened by the new 2011 fi scalstimulus plan announced by President Obama at the beginningof December. With fears of the recession returning dissipating,long-term US rates naturally adjusted, gaining more than 1% inthe space of a month and then fl uctuating at around 3.4% untilthe end of year.The US dollar also picked up, even while the markets began tospeculate that Ireland might make use of the EFSF. Following thesame pattern as Greece, Ireland was eventually obliged to callon European aid at the end of November, after the withdrawalof investors and the liquidity crisis. This bailout package totalled€85 billion and the Irish government has undertaken to make €15billion in savings over four years to bring its budget defi cit backbelow the 3% mark. At the same time, Europe has laid downthe foundations for a permanent crisis resolution mechanism tofollow the current emergency plan from July 2013.This mechanismprovides for the involvement of private bondholders, on acase-by-case basis, after an in-depth debt sustainability analysisof countries in diffi culty. As there are no details about how this mechanismwould work, markets have appeared cautious about it.These fi nancial jolts have not arrested the recovery. In Europe,survey data at the end of the year confi rmed that the recoverywas still in full swing albeit at a slow, but solid, rate, because itwas being driven by domestic demand. In the United States, businessindicators were also positive and growth accelerated at theend of 2010 to attain 3.2% on an annualised basis (on early forecasts).This good news sustained the upward trend in risk-freerates with, by implication, portfolio reallocations towards riskierand therefore higher yielding assets. The euro, benefi tting bothfrom this renewed appetite for risk and the lull observed on theEuropean sovereign debt front, ended the year at close to $1.34.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 79

Financial assetsconsist mainly of the positive fair value of derivative fi nancial instrumentsand the portfolio of securities held for trading. Financialliabilities consist mainly of the negative fair value of derivatives,negotiable debt instruments held for trading and securities soldshort.The reduction in these items arose mainly from the lower mark-tomarketvalue of derivatives, which dragged assets down by €16billion and liabilities by €19 billion, mostly on interest-rate derivativesand credit derivatives.• Securities purchased or sold underrepurchase agreementsRepo activities are mainly in Paris, which accounted for 59%of securities purchased and 61% of securities sold under repoagreements. The rise in securities on the asset side in 2010mostly resulted from the increase in treasury trading activities ofTreasury.• Accruals, prepayments, sundry assetsand liabilitiesAccruals, prepayments and sundry assets and liabilities mainlyinclude securities’ sales and purchases transactions awaitingsettlement and cash collateral paid or received on fi nancialmarkets operations.• Debt securities in issueApart from traditional refi nancing via interbank borrowings, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> raises liquidity via issuing paper in the main fi nancialmarkets (particularly in the USA via its US branch and its CA<strong>CIB</strong>Global Partners Inc. subsidiary, the UK via its London branch,and France).• Shareholders’ equity (Group share)Shareholders’ equity (Group share) excluding net income for theperiod was €13.6 billion at year-end, nearly stable compared with31 December 2009.• Customer loans and receivables (excludingrepos)Loans and receivables to customers amounted to €122.5 billionat 31 December 2010.

2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• RECENT TRENDS AND OUTLOOK2011 outlookThe United States has made the choice of growth to alleviate theburden of debt, public and private, by once again turning on themonetary and budgetary levers to stimulate activity (no FederalReserve rate increases expected before mid-2012). With thisstrategy, growth of 3% in 2011 seems possible, provided thatthere are also more signs of self-sustained growth increases. Therise in US long-term rates, which have stabilised since mid-Decemberat around 3.4% (the 10-year rate), refl ects the success ofthis gamble. Europe, having chosen the route of austerity to bringpublic debt back to sustainable trajectories, is just ticking over(with growth of 1.5% in 2011) with major divergences accordingto governments, depending on the size of their debt problems.The gamble is that of an ordered correction of public fi nancescoupled with basic reforms to return to a path of healthy growth.The gamble is risky with markets ready to penalize the slightestdefi ciency. The high levels of risk premiums on sovereign debt ofthe peripheral countries are evidence of this feverishness.A surprise came in early 2011 when the ECB adopted a decidedlymore aggressive posture toward infl ationary risk. The ECB,whose sole mandate is price stability in the medium term, hadno other choice than to raise its tone at a time when infl ation isabove its target (of 2.4% in January). But the fi rst sign of monetarytightening is still unlikely at this stage: price pressures originatingupstream (higher energy and food prices) over which the ECBhas no control at all. The lack of growth in the euro zone, thehigh level of the unemployment rate, the latent overcapacitiesand a situation that is still fragile and uncertain on the sovereigndebt front in peripheral countries should in addition dissuade theECB from raising its rates in 2011. Nevertheless, this change intone precipitated market corrections with a sharp rise in rates onshort term maturities and a rise in the Euro that reached EUR1 =USD1.37 in January.The rebound of the European currency, against a background offorecast interest rate hikes by the ECB, should therefore be shortlived.The foreign exchange market should give greater weightto growth differentials and to the benefi t of the dollar (a targetexchange rate of EUR 1 = USD 1.25 by end-2011).On the other hand, long-term risk-free rates will continue to riseto begin to be in accordance with the recovery plan underway(3.75% for the Germany Bund and 4% for the US 10-year rate bythe end of 2011). Even though Europe is providing a suffi cientlyconvincing and credible response to the sovereign debt crisis, inparticular after the meeting of the European Council on 24 and25 March 2011, spreads in peripheral countries should end up byreducing signifi cantly.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate andInvestment Bank outlookOn 17 March 2011, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group disclosed its mediumterm plan of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.

Losses from discontinuing activities significantly decreased compared with previous years and have nowa moderate impact on revenues (a - €374 million in net bankingincome).General operating expenses increased by €206 million (+11%).This increase resulted from a historically low level of costs in 2009(due to measures to reduce costs) and an unfavourable currencyeffect.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> generated a gross operating income of €1.1billion in 2010.The cost of risk amounted to -€0.6 billion in 2010 (versus a lossof €1.7 billion in 2009), half of the provisions concerns discontinuingactivities. The decrease in the cost of risk refl ects a globalimprovement in business conditions and in the specifi c risk on<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> counterparties. This reduction is also due tothe signifi cantly reduced losses from discontinuing activities.The item «corporate income tax« is positive in 2010 (+€1.2 billion)due to the purchase by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. of previous carryforwardtax defi cits according to the tax consolidation group(impact of +€1.4 billion versus €135 million in 2009).<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is part of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. tax consolidationgroup.

Head of Risk Management andPermanent Controls to which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> submitsfor decision any proposal of new or existing methodologyas regards to measurement or qualifi cation under the BaselCommittee before implementation in <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>;• The <strong>CIB</strong> Business Line Monitoring Committee is chaired by the<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. Head of Risk Management and PermanentControls in the presence of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Deputy CEOin charge of the support functions and of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> Risk Management Division. This committee reviews <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> risk situation as well as the progress of some ofthese processes .• CREDIT RISKA credit risk occurs when a counterparty is unable to fulfi ll itsobligations and when the book value of these obligations in thebank’s records is positive. The counterparty may be a bank, anindustrial or commercial corporate, a government or governmententity, an investment fund or a natural person.The exposure may be a loan, debt security, deed of property,performance exchange contract, guarantee or unused confi rmedcommitment. The risk also includes the settlement risk inherent inany transaction entailing an exchange of cash or physical goodsoutside a secure settlement system.Objectives and policyRisk-taking in <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> must be done through the riskstrategy defi nition approved by the Strategy and Portfolio Committee(CSP), chaired by Executive Management. The risk strategiesare set for each entity or business line carrying a risk withinthe scope of control of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>. The strategies defi nethe boundaries within which each business line or geographicalentity must conduct its activities: industrial sectors included (orexcluded), type of counterparty, nature and duration of transactionsand products authorised, category or intensity of risks incurred,existence and value of guarantees, overall portfolio volume,defi nition of individual and overall risk level, diversifi cation criteria.The defi nition of a risk strategy on each scope, sector, businessline or geographic entity allows <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> to require qualitycriteria on the commitments that are taken. It also preventsfrom excessive concentrations not expected by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> and it leads to a risk diversifi cation of the portfolio profi le.Concentration risks are managed by using specifi c indicators thatare taken into account for granting loans. Then concentrationsare monitored a posteriori for the entire portfolio by identifyingthe most signifi cant exposures and by using specifi c quantitativeindicators.Finally, an active portfolio management is done within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> to reduce main concentration risks and also to optimizeits uses of shareholders’ equity. The CPM uses market instrumentssuch as credit derivatives or securitisation mechanisms toreduce and diversify counterparty risks. The credit syndicationfrom external banks as well as a hedging policy (credit-insurance,derivatives, etc) are other ways to limit possible concentrations.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 95


32010 MANAGEMENT REPORTCredit risk managementGeneral principles of risk-takingCredit decisions depend on the upstream risk strategies that aredefi ned above.Limits are set for all counterparties and groups of counterparties,in order to control the amount of commitments, whatever the typeof counterparty (corporate, sovereign, banks, fi nancial institutions,local authorities, SPEs, etc.). Authorisations vary accordingto the quality of the risk, assessed by an internal rating of thecounterparty. The credit decision must form part of the formallyapproved risk strategies.Second-level controls on compliance with limits are performedby the RPC, supplemented by a process for monitoringindividual risks and portfolio risks, in order to detect any possibledeterioration in the quality of the counterparty and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s commitments as far ahead as possible.Where the risk is substantiated, a collective and specifi cimpairment policy is put into effect.New transactions are approved according to a decisionmakingprocess based on two front-offi ce signatures, one by acommitment analysis unit, the other by a front-offi ce manager assigning offi cer.The decision is supported by an independent opinion by theRPC and must take Basel II parameters into account, includingthe internal rating of the counterparty and the predictive LossGiven Default (LGD) attributed to the proposed transactions; acalculation of ex-ante profi tability (RAROC) must also be includedin the credit fi le. In the event that the risk management team’sopinion is negative, the decision-making power is passed up tothe chairman of the higher committee.Risk measurement methods and systems• Internal rating systemThe internal rating system covers all methods, procedures andcontrols used to calculate credit risk, borrower ratings and lossgiven default fi gures for all of our exposures.In 2007, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> received authorisation from theAutorité de Contrôle Prudentiel (ex-Commission Bancaire)to useits internal credit risk rating system to calculate regulatory capitalrequirements.The methods used cover all types of counterparty and combinequantitative and qualitative criteria.They are devised using the expertise of the various fi nancingactivities within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, or within the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group if they cover customers shared by the whole Group. Therating scale has 15 notches. It has been established on the basisof a segmentation of risk so as to provide a uniform view of defaultrisk over a full business cycle. The scale comprises thirteen ratings(A+ to E-) for counterparties that are not in default (including tworatings for counterparties that have been placed under watch)and two ratings (F and Z) for counterparties that are in default.Comparison between the internal Group ratings and the rating agencies<strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong>GroupIndicativeMoody'sratingequivalentIndicativeStandard's& Poor'sratingequivalentA+ A B+ B C+ C C- D+ D D- E+ E E-AaaAa1/Aa2Aa3/A1 A2/A3 Baa1 Baa2 Baa3 Ba1 Ba2 Ba3 B1/B2 B3AAA AA+/AA AA-/A+ A/A- BBB+ BBB BBB- BB+ BB BB- B+/B B-Caa/Ca/CCCC/CC/CAll the methods are presented and validated by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A.’s Standards and Methodology Committee, which ensuresthat they are consistent with the Group’s other methods.The internal ratings of corporate customers are monitored using asystem deployed across the whole <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group, knownas « FRANE« (corporate rating regulatory support functions), whichensures that uniform ratings are applied throughout the group andorganises back-testing work on shared customers.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has ensured that the risk parameters requiredby Basel II, allowing the calculation of capital requirements,are used as part of the Bank’s internal management. They areused by all people involved in the process of granting loans andmeasuring and monitoring credit risks.Data used for granting loans and determining ratings aremonitored every month by a data quality committee. Thiscommittee is coordinated by the Risk Management Department,and representatives of all business lines take part in it. Thecommittee monitors a set of indicators concerning the qualityof data used for rating purposes, as well as the calculation ofother Basel II parameters when granting loans, such as loss givendefault (LGD), credit conversion factor (CCF) and risk reductionfactor (RRF). The committee helps business lines apply BaselII requirements and, if necessary, to take remedial action whendiscrepancies arise. It provides important help in checking thatthe Basel II system is used properly by the business lines.96SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• Credit risk measurementThe measurement of credit risk exposures includes both drawnfacilities and confi rmed unutilized facilities. To measure counterpartyrisk on capital markets transactions, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>uses an internal method for estimating the underlying risk of derivativefi nancial instruments such as swaps and structured products.The counterparty risk on markets transactions is subject to therecognition of potential risk arising from the change in market valueof derivatives instruments during their residual lifespan. Whenthe netting and collateralization agreements with the counterpartyallow, counterparty risk is measured for the portfolio net of eligiblecollateral. The corporate and investment business uses thismethod for the internal management of counterparty risk, and itdiffers from the regulatory approach used to meet the measurementrequirements of European, and international capital adequacyratios or for reporting majors risks.To reduce exposure to counterparty risks, the corporate and investmentbusiness enters into netting and collateralization agreementswith its counterparties (cf. paragraph 4. below: « Credit riskmitigation mechanism).Information on credit risks are provided in page 100 of the managementreport as well as in note 3 of the notes to the consolidatedfi nancial statements.Portfolio and concentration risksDecision-making and individual risk monitoring within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> are backed up by a portfolio risk monitoring system thatenables the group to assesscounterparty risks for its overall portfolio and for each of theconstituent sub-portfolios, according to a breakdown by businessline, sector, geographic zone, or any delineation that brings outspecifi c risk characteristics in the overall portfolio.Portfolio reviews are conducted periodically at each profi t centrein order to check that the portfolio is consistent with the riskstrategy in force, to assess the various segments of the portfolioagainst one another and against any aspects of the operatingenvironment or external impacts that may be infl uencing them,and fi nally to reassess the internal rating of the counterpartiesunder review.Different tools were implemented to detect any concentrationdeemed to be excessive for the entire portfolio, sub-portfolios orat a unit level:• Unit concentration scales were implemented to give referencepoints according to the nature, the size, the rating and the geographicarea of the counterparty. They are used in the loangrantingprocess and are periodically implemented to the entireportfolio to detect concentrations that seem to be excessive aposteriori.• The concentrations by sector or by geographic area are regularlythe subject of supervision, ad hoc analysis and when needed,of recommendations for action. In all cases, concentrationrisks are taken into account in the risk strategy analysis of eachbusiness line or geographic entity.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> employs credit risk modelling tools and inparticular uses an internal portfolio model that calculates averageexpected loss, average loss volatility and unexpected loss,allowing it to estimate the economic capital required to conductits business. Average loss and volatility fi gures enable <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> to anticipate the average risk-related cost in its portfolio,and changes therein. Economic capital is an additional measurementof Basel II regulatory capital, to the extent that it allowsa more detailed view of the portfolio using a correlation modeland parameters calibrated using internal databases. For example,economic capital is estimated by taking into account <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s internal rating target rather than the 99.9% confi denceinterval required by Basel II.The internal portfolio model also takes into account the positiveimpact of protection (Credit Default Swaps, securitisations) purchasedby <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Credit Portfolio Managementunit. Finally, it measures the effects of excessive concentration ordiversifi cation within our portfolio.Stress scenarios are the fi nal type of counterparty risk assessmenttool. They are regularly produced to estimate the impact ofextreme shocks on some or all of the portfolio.Sector risks<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s portfolio is analysed by major industrial sectorat regular intervals, at least once a quarter. Risks within eachsector in terms of commitments, level of risk (expected loss, economiccapital) and concentration are examined.Concentration is assessed on two levels: the sector’s weightingwithin <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s overall portfolio and the level of diversification within each sector.At the same time, the economic and fi nancial risks of each significant sector are analysed and leading indicators of deteriorationare monitored. These analysis are prepared with <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A’s specialists teams.Stress scenarios are also prepared where necessary.In the light of these various analyses, measures to diversify orprotect sectors at risk of deterioration are recommended.Country risksCountry risk is the risk that economic, fi nancial, political or socialconditions in a foreign country will affect the bank’s fi nancialinterests. It does not differ in nature from « elementary« risks(credit, market and operational risks). It constitutes a set ofrisks resulting from the bank’s vulnerability to a specifi c political,macroeconomic and fi nancial environment.The system for assessing and monitoring country risk within<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is based on an internal rating model. Internalcountry ratings are based on criteria relating to the economy’sstructural solidity, ability to pay, governance and political stability.Annually reviewed limits and risk strategies are applied toeach country whose rating is lower than the threshold set byprocedures.In addition, the Bank performs scenario analyses to test adversemacroeconomic and fi nancial assumptions, which give anintegrated overview of the risks to which it may be exposed insituations of extreme tension.The Group manages and controls its country risks according tothe following principles:• Activities exposed to country risk are defi ned and identifi edthrough the development and monitoring of analytical countrySHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 97


32010 MANAGEMENT REPORTrisk management tools.• Acceptable country risk exposure limits are determined throughannual reviews of country strategies, depending on the portfolio’svulnerability to country risk. This degree of vulnerability isdetermined by the type and structure of transactions, the qualityof counterparties and the term of commitments. These exposurelimits may be reviewed more frequently if developments ina particular country make this necessary. These strategies andlimits are validated by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Strategy and PortfolioCommittee (CSP) or Country Risk Committee (CRP) andby <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.’s Risk Management Committee (CRG).• Country risk is evaluated on a regular basis through the productionand quarterly updating of ratings on each country to whichthe Group is exposed. These ratings are produced using aninternal country rating model based on various criteria (structuralsolidity, governance, political stability and ability/desire topay). Specifi c events may cause ratings to be adjusted beforethe next quarterly review.• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Country and Portfolio Risk Departmentvalidates transactions whose size, maturity and country riskintensity may potentially affect the quality of the portfolio.• Country-risk exposure is monitored and controlled in both quantitative(amount and term of exposure) and qualitative (portfoliovulnerability) terms through specifi c and regular reports on allcountry risk exposures.Counterparty risks on capital market activitiesDerivatives and repo transactions carried out by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> as part of its capital market activities generate a risk of defaultby the transaction counterparties. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses internalmethods to estimate the current and potential risk inherent inderivative fi nancial instruments, taking a net portfolio approachfor each client:• the current risk is the amount that would be due by the counterpartyin the event of immediate default;• the risk of variation is the estimated maximum amount of ourexposure over the residual life of the transaction, at a givenconfi dence interval.The methods used are based on Monte Carlo simulations to measurethe risk of change in the market value of a portfolioof derivatives over the residual life of the portfolio, based on astatistical observation of movements in the underlying variables.The model also takes into account various risk mitigation factors,linked to set-off and collateralisation contracts negotiated withcounterparties during the pre-transaction documentation phase.The risk of variation calculated using the internal model is used tomanage limits assigned to counterparties and to calculate economiccapital under Pillar 2 of Basel II, by calculating the « ExpectedPositive Exposure«, which corresponds to an average risk profi lein a global portfolio approach.For regulatory purposes, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses the standardapproach to calculate the benchmark Exposure At Default (markto-market+regulatory add-on [potential credit risk] after factoringin portfolio effects). See note 3.1 to the consolidated fi nancial statements:« Derivative fi nancial instruments – Counterparty Risk«on page 170.Commitments Monitoring systemMonitoring systemFirst-degree controls on compliance with the conditions thataccompany a credit decision are carried out by the front offi ce.The Risk Management and Permanent Controls division is incharge of second-level controls.Commitments are supervises for this purpose, and portfoliobusiness is monitored constantly in order to identify at an earlystage any assets that could deteriorate. The aim is to adoptpractical initiatives as early as possible so as to protect the Bank’sinterests.• Commitments monitoring methodsThe main methods used in this monitoring are:• enhanced day-to-day controls on capital markets transactionsand implementation of committes on market transactions thatmeet twice a month.

These mappings are presented and analysed in thecommittes dedicated to such matters.These steps lead to:• changes in internal ratings of counterparties which are, whenneeded, classifi ed as sensitive;• practical decisions to reduce or cover commitments at risk;• possible transfers of assets to the specialised recovery unit.Monitoring of sensitive items andimpairmentSensitive items, whether performing debts on the watch list ordoubtful or bad debts, are managed on a daily basis within theentities, and enhanced surveillance is carried out on a quarterlybasis:• sensitive items review committees are held locally every quarter,to provide an update of the scope and changes in impairmentfor each entity.• Central committees are also convened under the chairmanshipof the Risk Management and Permanent Controls division, inorder to proceed with a joint examination of these loans’ classification as Doubtful or Sensitive Items.These committees propose specifi c impairment decisions whichare then validated by the Management Board.The defi nition of default complies with the required Basel II defi -nition; rigorous default identifi cation procedures have been introducedon this basis.Stress scenariosCredit stress scenarios are devised to assess <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s risk of loss in the event of a serious deterioration in theeconomic and fi nancial environment.There are two types of stress scenario:• the fi rst aims to refl ect the impact of a macroeconomic deteriorationaffecting the whole portfolio in terms of Basel II regulatorycapital and revenues;• the second focuses on a sector or geographical zone thatconstitutes a homogeneous set of risks.These scenarios have different uses:• stress scenarios on targeted portfolios are used as part of therisk strategies to support the decisions taken in CSP. Theyquantify the loss in the event of a sudden deterioration of theenvironment on a given portfolio either for an economic sectoror for a country risk;• stress scenarios covering the entire portfolio and all the riskcategories are used for granting requests about reinforced prudentialsupervision, and for the implementation of prudentialrequests under Pillar 2 of Basel II. In 2010, CA<strong>CIB</strong> has contributedon its scope to calculate stress scenarios in accordancewith French Prudential Supervisory Authority. Results were publishedat the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A Group level;• these latter scenarios, at a global level, are used for fi nancialmanagement, and particulary for the budget process and forcapital funds oversight.Credit risk mitigation mechanismGuarantees and collateralsreceived<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> requires guarantees and collateral from a significant number of its counterparties to reduce its risks, either forfi nancial transactions or market transactions.The principles for accepting under Basel II, taking into accountand managing guarantees and collateral are defi ned by the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> Group’s Standards and Methodology Committee.This common framework ensures a consistent approach acrossthe Group’s various entities. The Committee documents aspectsincluding the conditions for prudential use, valuation and revaluationmethods and all credit risk mitigation techniques used withinthe <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> then devises its own operational proceduresand arrangements for the detailed management of these guaranteesand collateral.Commitments given and received are presented in note 8 to theconsolidated fi nancial statements.Use of netting contractsIf a « framework« contract has been signed with the counterparty,<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> applies netting to the counterparty’s exposures.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also uses collateralisation techniques(deposits of cash or securities).A policy of netting and collateral regulates the internal rules thattake into account such agreements, in accordance with the prudentialrequirements. It relies on a detailed analysis of the applicationor non-application of the agreements of netting and collateralby type of contract and by country. Decisions for its implementationare taken into a Committee « Netting and collateral policy«.A « Netting and collateral coordination« unit was created withinRPC in 2010 to facilitate the implementation of the policy and toreinforce the supervision of its proper implementation.Use of credit derivativesThe Bank uses credit derivatives and a range of risk transfer instruments,including securitisation, in managing its banking book(cf. Pillar 3 page 104 to 106).Outstanding nominal amounts of protection purchased in theform of credit derivatives came to €13.1 billion at end-2010.

It illustrates the cautious and selective rise in our commitmentsafter the 2009 economic crisis.Global balance of the portfolio between the different businessesremains steady in 2010, despite some changes described below:Banks outstandings have been relatively stable since December2009. Energy remains the fi rst non-fi nancial sector representing16.6% of the portfolio but consistent with the overall contributionof the Energy sector in the global economy. This sector is moreoverwell diversifi ed across types of underlyings, borrowers andfi nancing facilities, most of them are secured by assets.The sector « miscellaneous«, the third one is securitisation (mainlyliquidity lines granted to securitisation programs funded via <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s conduits), as well as commitments for well diversified customers (wealth or fi nancial holdings principally).The proportion of transportation sectors (aerospace, shipping,automotive) is rather stable , with a pro-active policy of limitingrisk in this very troubled sectors.The shipping sector contribution results from the expertise andthe position of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> in the asset fi nancing to shipowners.Shipping transportation has been facing a reversal in themarket since end-2008, however our portfolio is relatively protectedby the quality of the fi nancing structures.

2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• Collective impairment allowances under IAS 39, recognizedwhen objective indications of impairment are identifi ed on oneor more homogeneous subgroups within the credit risk portfolio.These allowances are intended to cover deterioration in therisk profi le of exposures to certain countries, business sectorsor counterparties, not because they are in default but becausetheir rating has been lowered. Impairment allowances on a portfoliobasis are also made in retail banking.Impaired financial assetsThe breakdown of impaired loans and receivables due from creditinstitutions and customers by type of borrower and geographicarea is presented in note 3.1 to the fi nancial statements. Thestatements provide details of impairment allowances on fi nancialassets on bad and doubtful debts.Collective reservesIn accordance with IAS 39, collective reserves are set aside whenobjective indications of impairment are identifi ed:• assets that already show increased risk: impairment is basedon statistics relating to expected losses until mturity of the thetransactions;• sectors and countries under supervision: impairment is intendedto cover estimated sector or geographical risks for which thereis statistical or historical risk of partial non-recovery.At the end of 2010, sub-portfolios where sector reserves existedare selected LBO, real-estate (in certain geographical areas),some segment of shipping automotive, tourism and to a lesserextent in aircraft.Risky countries on which collective impairment exists are thosewhose ratings are below a certain threshold in our internal ratingscale, giving them the status of countries under supervision.Collective impairment totalled €1,446 million at 31 December2010 for <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s ongoing activities.In this context of uncertainty, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> pursued a veryselective development policy in emerging countries. The transactionsin favour of targeted customers, situated mainly in thecountries of status « investment grade« were privileged whilemaintaining a qualitative risk profi le. This business recovery camealong with regular reviews of the country and portfolios ratingsand of a monthly control of exposures and limits over all the emergingcountries.Changes in emerging country risk exposure<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s risk exposures at 31 December 2010,amounted to €41.9 billion (including stake in UBAF), +19% comparedto 2009. It is mostly due to the currency effect Euro/Dollarover the period. The fi gure covers commercial client exposures(on- and off-balance sheet), net of collateral.Emerging-market exposures ( excluding UBAF) remains signifi -cant: 33 countries made up 94% of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s emerging-marketportfolio, of which 12 countries accounted for 71%.In 2010, the risk profi le of the portfolio improved slightly. Investment-gradeexposure in emerging-market countries amounted to72% of the total, and exposure to sensitive countries remainedlow at 6%.Most of Emerging-market exposure was in three geographicalareas: Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe.The effects of the global economic and fi nancial crisis of 2008,which still had an impact in 2009, were softened in 2010, in particularwith the growth that remained strong in emerging countries.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> assets in these countries slightly increased in2010.AsiaAsia becomes the fi rst area of emerging-market commercial exposure(33%, €13.7 billion). Activity is mainly concentrated in twocountries: India and China.Middle East and North AfricaCountry risk policyEncouraging fi gures of the global growth recovery (5% in 2010)that should continue in 2011 refl ect however a two-speed world.On the one hand emerging countries experiencing sustainedgrowth (7% in 2010 and more than 6% for the next two years)and on the other hand, developed countries where averagegrowth should not exceed 2%. These fi gures mask the fact that,in several countries, growth is insuffi cient to contain a very volatilesocial situation associated, notably, to youth unemployment andinequalities fuelled by corruption.In addition, a large part of Europe is paralyzed because of thedebt and budget defi cit issues and have no choice but to takebelt-tightening measures. These issues raise concerns for somedeveloped countries. For emerging countries, the concerns aremainly related to the risk of overheating of the economy and theunderlying factors: infl ation, the rise in the price of commoditiesand its signifi cant social consequences as well as currency volatilityof the carry trade. Because the environment is still worrying asa whole, politics and social concerns are more and more determiningfor risk matters and still impose to be very cautious in ourbusiness development.Middle East and North Africa accounts for the second portion ofemerging-market exposure (30%, €12.4 billion).The main exposures are in the United Arab Emirates and SaudiArabia.Eastern EuropeEastern Europe is ranked third: exposure to this region makes up18% of the emerging-market total (€7.5 billion). It is concentratedin four countries (Russia, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary).Latin AmericaThis region makes up 12% of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s emergingmarketexposure (€5.2 billion), mainly in three countries: Brazil,Mexico and Chile.Sub-Saharan AfricaAt the end of 2010, exposure to this region was 7% of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s emerging-market exposure (€2.8 billion), more than50% of which related to South Africa.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 103


2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3Internal model-base for measuring and managing market risksMarket risk monitoring indicatorsMarket risk management involves various indicators at differentlevels of aggregation. By defi ning limits, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> aimsto cover all risk factors.• Value at Risk (VaR)VaR is the central plank of the risk measurement system. Theregulatory authorities’ validation of the internal model supportsthe use of VaR in the operational monitoring of market risks.VaR is a measure of the potential loss that <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’sportfolio could suffer in the event of adverse movements in marketparameters over a one-day period and with a confi dence intervalof 99%, based on one year of historical data. This allows theday-to-day monitoring of market risks incurred by the Group inits trading activities. The method quantifi es the loss regarded asthe maximum in 99 cases out of 100, after calculating various riskfactors (interest rates, exchange rates, asset prices etc.). The correlationbetween risk factors infl uences the maximum loss fi gure.Netting is defi ned as the difference between total VaR and thesum of VaR fi gures for each type of risk. It represents the nettingeffect on the various risk factors caused by simultaneously heldpositions.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s internal model is based on an historic VaRmodel, except for a part of commodities. Precious Metal and Gas& Power are based on an historic VaR in end of 2010 whereas aMonte Carlo model is applied for Energy and Core Metal. A standardisedapproach is used for certain exotic products in accordancewith regulations.The VaR method undergoes constant improvement and adjustmentto take account the relevance of methods to new marketconditions For example, efforts are made to integrate new riskfactors and to achieve greater detail on existing.Evolution of the regulatory VaR in 2010:<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> regulatory VaR in 2010 (€ million)5045403530252015105004/01/201018/01/201001/02/201015/02/201001/03/201015/03/201029/03/201012/04/201026/04/201010/05/201024/05/201007/06/201021/06/201005/07/201019/07/2010The VaR profi le in 2010 refl ects a rather clear midyear decreasemainly due to the correlation book (discontinuing operations).

The elements presented aboveexplain this evolution;• fi xed-income business with average VaR of €18 million comparedwith €22 million in 2009; VaR is €21 million at end-2010; theshocks on European sovereign issuers contributed to maintainthe level of VaR;• activities on equities, foreign exchange products and commodities:the contribution from these businesses was less signifi cantwith average levels inferior to €4 million each.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also carries out specifi c monitoring of VaR instrategic activities. At 31 December 2010, VaR was €24 million,within the €35 million limit set under the Refocusing and DevelopmentPlan. This limit was respected all along 2010.Lastly, following the regulatory standard evolution, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> implemented a stressed VaR measurement. The objective ofthe measurement is to increase the historical depth of VaR measurement,to reduce their pro-cyclic form and to keep the mostunfavourable one-year period of the past years. This measurementwas implemented in June 2010. At the end of 2010, theselected period goes from February 2008 to February 2009, itincluding the end of 2008 (Lehman crisis).• hypothetical scenarios anticipating plausible shocks, which aredeveloped in conjunction with economists. Hypothetical scenariosare those of an economic recovery (rally in equity andcommodity markets, increase of short term rates, stronger USDand tighter credit spreads) and a tightening in liquidity (increaseof short term rates, widening credit spreads, falling equity markets);• an « adverse« approach, assessing the impact of large adversemarket movements on all business lines. Losses measured bythis scenario are managed using a limit;• an « extrem« approach was added in early 2010 to measure theimpact of market shocks even more important, that does nottake into account the possible effects of offsetting between thedifferent risk factors. A limit is also set for this indicator in agreementwith <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.Global stresses are calculated on a weekly basis, and are presentedto <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Market Risk Committee twice amonth.At the same time, specifi c stress scenarios are developed foreach business line, and are produced with a frequency rangingmostly once per week.These specifi c scenarios add precision to the analysis of risksrelating to the various business lines.At the end of 2010, the risk levels assessed using the seven globalstress scenarios are as follows ( for strategic activities): Estimated losses associated with stress scenarios(€ million)BacktestingUnder the internal model, a daily loss should not exceed VaRmore than two or three times per year.Backtesting allows permanent comparisons between VaR andthe daily results of product lines, calculated both on the basis ofreal positions and assuming unchanged positions.. During 2010,there was only one exception; it was the same frequency in 2009.This is mostly due to the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> chosen risk profi le.2000-200-400-600-800-10001 2 3 4 5 6 731/12/201031/12/2009Stress scenariosTo complement VaR measurements, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> appliesstress scenarios to its market activities in order to assess the impactof extreme market turbulence on its book values.These scenarios are based on four complementary approaches:• historical approaches, which replicate the impact of past criseson the current portfolio. The historical scenarios relate to 1994(bond crisis), 1998 (credit market crisis, falling equity markets,sharp rise in interest rates and declining emerging-market currencies)and 1987 (stockmarket crash;Other indicatorsVaR measurement is associated with a set of complementary andexplanatory indicators, most of which are subject to limits:• the set of limits provides for precise risk management. Appliedby business activity and by desk, tighter risk management isachieved by adopting sets of limits on a range of indicators.These indicators are calculated for each activity and specify theproducts authorized and the maximum time to maturity. Theyalso include a system of loss alerts and stop losses;106SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

Actively traded productsare simple products (credit default swaps) in which creditspreads are the main risk factor. The structured and complex productbusiness is being wound down.All the positions are measured at fair value with deductions formodel and data uncertainties.These activities are managed through a system of market-risk indicatorsaccompanied by limits designed to cover all risk factors.These indicators are:• VaR (historical, 99%, daily, including credit spread and correlationrisk);• credit sensitivity;• sensitivity to correlation;• sensitivity to interest rates.Independent teams belonging to the Risk Management and PermanentControls division are responsible for valuing positions,calculating risk indicators, setting limits and validating models.Equity risks<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s equity risk results mainly from trading andarbitrage transactions involving equities, carried out as part ofcapital markets activities involving equity derivatives and funds.It also results, to a lesser extent, from CA Cheuvreux and CLSA’sequity brokerage activities.Equity risk arising from trading and arbitrage activities is monitoredusing a 99% « Value at Risk« (VaR) method.

The Committee includes the members ofthe Executive Committee, the Heads of Finance, of Treasury, arepresentative of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. Finance Division andrepresentatives of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>Market Risk Management.This Committee is led by the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Head of Assetand Liability Management and Credit Portfolio Management.This Committee meets quarterly and it is the decision-makingbody for the Group asset and liability management policy. Itintervenes either in direct management or in supervision and ingeneral coordination for the areas of Asset-Liability Managementthat are formally delegated to foreign branches and subsidiaries.Finance Division (via Asset and Liability Management) isresponsible for implementing the decisions taken by the Assetand Liability Management Committee.Financial Risk Management includes the monitoring and thesupervision of interest-rate risks (excluding trading activities),structural and operational exchange-rate risks and liquidity risksof <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> in France and abroad. It particularly includesdirect management of equity and long-term fi nancing positions.Global interest-rate riskObjectives and policyGlobal interest-rate risk management aims to protect commercialmargins against rate variations and to ensure a better stabilityover time of the equity and long-term fi nancing components’intrinsic value.The intrinsic value and the interest margin are linked to the sensitivityin the interest-rate variation of the net present value and incash fl ow variation of the fi nancial instruments in the on- and offbalancesheet. This sensitivity arises when assets and liabilitieshave different maturities and dates for interest-rate refi xing.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> exposure to interest-rate risk in its customertransactions is limited through interest-rate matching on customerassets by its market teams, and through the low level of noninterestbearing deposits.The remaining measured exposure includes interest-rate risk arisingfrom equity capital and equity investments.Risk managementEach operating entity manages its exposure under the controlof its own Asset-Liability Management Committtee in charge ofensuring compliance with the Group limits and standards.The Asset-Liability Management of the head offi ce -within the frameworkof its mission of coordination and supervision-and theMarket Risk Management which attends the Local Committeesensure the harmonization of the methods and the practices withinthe Group as well as the monitoring of the limits assigned to eachentity.The Group global interest-rate exposure is disclosed to the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Asset-Liability Management Committee which:• Examines consolidated exposures determined at the end ofeach quarter;• Ensures compliance with <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> limits which areset during the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. Group Risk ManagementCommittee;• Decides on management measures on the basis of the proposalsmade by the Asset-Liability Management.Method<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses the gap method to measure its globalinterest-rate risk. This consists of determining maturity schedulesand interest rates for all assets, liabilities and hedging derivativesat fi xed, adjustable and infl ation-linked interest rates: until the adjustmentdate for adjustable-rate items, until the contractual datefor fi xed-rate items and using model-based conventions for itemswithout a contractual maturity.The gap measurement includes the rate hedging effect on fairvalue and cash fl ow hedges.ExposureThe Group is mainly exposed to changes in interest rates in theeuro currency zone, and to a lesser extent to changes in US dollarinterest rates.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> manages its interest-rate risk exposurethrough an exposure limit set by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. at €2.5billion, amortizable linearly over 10 years with a limit of €900 million.Interest-rate gaps measure the surplus or defi cit of fi xed-rate resources.Conventionally, a positive gap represents an exposure toa risk of falling interest rates during the period.The results of these measurements at 31 December 2010 refl ectthat <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is exposed to a fall in interest rates:€ billion 0-1 year 1-5 yearsAverage gapDollar USAverage gapEuro and othercurrencies5-10years-0,1 0,0 +0,1+0,2 +0,2 +0,7In terms of net banking income sensitivity for the fi rst year (2011)<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> could lose €9 million of revenues in case ofa long-lasting 200-basis-point decrease in the interest rates, thatis to say a 0.2% sensitivity for a reference net banking income of€5,698 million in 2010.114SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3Based on these same sensitivity calculations, the net presentvalue of the loss incurred in the next ten years in the event of anadverse 200-basis-point movement in the yield curve equals lessthan 0.6% of the Group’s prudential capital.In addition, the income impacts of fi ve stress scenarios (three historicaland two hypothetical) regarding the interest rate gap aremeasured on a quarterly basis and reported to the ALM Committee.The scenarios are those used by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Treasurydepartment:• The historical scenarios are: a major equity market crash (BlackMonday in 1987); a surge in interest rates (bond crash in 1994);a sharp increase in issuer spreads (rise in credit spreads in1998).• Hypothetical scenarios: one is based on the assumption of aneconomic recovery (rise of the equity market, of rates in general,of the USD spot, of oil and decrease of issuer spreads and theother on a liquidity crisis following the Central Bank decision toincrease its key ratesSimulations are made using the sensitivity of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>’s interest-rate mismatch. Sensitivity is defi ned as the gain orloss arising from a 1% change in interest rates. This sensitivity iscalculated in EUR and USD. The calculation is based on averageoutstandings over a rolling 1-year period.The shocks contained in these scenarios are calculated on a10-day basis, according to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s stress scenariomethodology. Sensitivity is « shocked« in various ways. The resultof a stress test corresponds to the net present value of changesin the scenario’s characteristics.These stress scenarios show relatively limited impacts, sincethe net present value of the maximum potential loss equalled0.1% of prudential capital and 0.3% of net banking income at 31December 2010.Liquidity riskLiquidity and fi nancing risk is the risk of loss if a company isunable to meet its fi nancial commitments in a timely fashion andat reasonable prices when they become due.These commitments include obligations to depositors and suppliers,as well as commitments in respect of loans and investments.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, as a credit institution, complies with the liquidityrequirements set out in the following texts:• CRBF regulation 88-01 of 22 February 1988 relating to liquidity(abrogated at 30 June 2010);• Commission Bancaire instruction 88-03 of 22 April 1988 onliquidity (abrogated at 30 June 2010),• Commission Bancaire instruction 89-03 of 20 April 1989 onhow to take account of refi nancing agreements in calculatingliquidity (abrogated at 30 June 2010);• Commission Bancaire instruction 2009-05 of 20 June 2009,application with effect from 30 June 2010.Policy and objectives<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s policy for managing its short-term and medium-termliquidity risk is set by its Asset-Liability ManagementCommittee as part of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group’s policy.Liquidity managementThe Financing Committee shared by the Treasury Departmentand the Finance Department’s Asset-Liability Management unitmeets monthly to analyse developments in long-term resourcerequirements and in market conditions. It sets the fi nancial termsof new transactions.• Medium- and long-term management<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s medium-to long-term liquidity managementis performed centrally by the Asset-Liability Management Departmentof the Finance Division. It defi nes internal transformationpolicies, rules and procedures, both on an overall basis for majorcurrencies and on a specifi c basis for certain local currencies. Itdetermines medium-and long-term fi nancing needs, as well asneeds arising from fi nancial transactions concerning equity andlong-term fi nancing.• Short-term managementShort-term liquidity management is handled by the Bank’s TreasuryDepartment. It renews fi nancing and manages portfolios ofliquid assets.It sets rules and limits for the Bank’s various global liquiditycentres. It ensures compliance with the applicable regulatoryliquidity coeffi cient.Methodology• Liquidity risk measurement: short term(from intraday to one year)In accordance with the order of 5 May 2009, the French PrudentialSupervisory Authority General Secretariat allows institutions toreplace, from June 2010, the calculation of the regulatory liquidityratio with an advanced approach based on internal methods.These methods are based on stress scenarios that must covertime horizons from intraday to 1-year and at least three types ofcrisis: systemic liquidity crisis, bank credit crisis and a combinationof the two.The <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> SA Group is developing a plan to ensure thatall its subsidiaries comply with this order, and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>is an integral part of the plan. The bank capitalizes on a numberof existing tools that are already being used for the operationalmanagement of liquidity risk.• every day, the Treasury department calculates liquidity gaps ontime horizons from intraday to 1-year, assuming a total lack of amarket access in the fi rst two weeks. Potential sources of additionalliquidity are assets from central banks, followed by gapswith longer time horizons of up to 1 year, with variable assump-SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 115


32010 MANAGEMENT REPORTtions regarding the renewal of maturing assets and liabilitiescorresponding to a liquidity crisis scenario. The calculation ofthese liquidity gaps is based on the bank’s fi ve liquidity centres,which make up most of the consolidated balance sheet. <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s other entities are taken into account via intragroupitems.• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also has a Contingency Funding Plan (CFP),which simulates the impact of a severe rating crisis for <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> over a three-month period, with short-term ratingsfalling to A2/P2 at the end of the second month. The CFPcalculation is based on the fi ve liquidity centers: Paris, Tokyo,New York, London and Hong Kong. The rest of the scope ofconsolidation is taken into account via intra-group items. TheContingency Funding Plan is produced monthly. The calculationof the Treasury department’s liquidity gaps has been based onthe same scope as the Contingency Funding Plan, resulting in adaily proforma CFP calculation.• <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also takes into account the fact that not allof the currencies in which it operates can be considered totallyfungible. National regulators will seek to limit international outflows of cash in order to preserve the liquidity situation of theirnational fi nancial systems. As a result, specifi c simulations arecarried out for the US dollar, the balance-sheet impact of whichis signifi cant. The Treasury department calculates liquidity gapsfor 1-15 days in USD, and <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> USA implementsa specifi c USD stress scenario as part of a 1-month simulationof a complete closure of the USD market.• Liquidity risk measurement: mediumandlong-term riskMedium- and long-term risk is measured by calculating the Bank’s1- and 5-year transformation mismatches.These mismatches are the difference between long-term uses offunds (comprising bank lending, securities and non-current assets)and available long-term fi nancial resources. The transformationmismatch is calculated by applying various run-off assumptionsto assets and liabilities with no contractual maturity, and bytaking into account the contingent fi nancing commitments madeby the Bank. Exceptionally, run-off assumptions are also appliedto sight and term deposits in the private banking business.The 1-year transformation mismatch must remain below a setlimit, taking into account the pressure placed on short-term marketsby treasury operations. Specifi c sets of limits are applied tothe most sensitive areas of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s activities.This approach is now complemented by a limit on the amount ofshort-term fi nancing that <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> can use to fi nanceits balance sheet, as part of the common approach of the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> SA Group.This method aims to ensure surplus liquidity over a 1-year timehorizon in a market stress scenario, and results from the followingprinciples:• the Treasury department will always maintain a minimumamount of short-term fi nancing from its usual sources;• the surplus must be covered by net cash infl ows in the following12-month period, based on maturing assets and liabilities, towhich a set of renewal assumptions is applied;• asset and liability renewal assumptions, along with the stableportion of short-term resources, may vary between <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>SA Group entities.This method is consistent with the calculation of the 1-year-plustransformation mismatch. It analyses more accurately the pressurecreated by cash requirements in the short-term markets.Checks that the short-term fi nancing limit is being complied withmay be carried out daily. These checks use the same IT resourcesas those used to calculate liquidity gaps.Lastly, medium- to long-term liquidity risk assessment has beenfi ned-tuned by validating and applying new run-off assumptionsspecifi c to certain business lines (particularity commodities andexport fi nance).Exposures• Liquidity ratioIn accordance with the ministerial decree of 5 May 2009, thecalculation of the liquidity ratio has changed in its defi nition ofa standardised method. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> must comply withthis approach from 30 June 2010 up to the approval of the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> Group liquidity management and monitoring systemwhich will lead to an advanced method.The liquidity ratio equals to short-term cash available divided byshort-term cash out. It is calculated monthly, 100% is the minimumrequirement. It includes prudential capital and it is calculatedon a stand alone basis.At 31 December 2010, the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> liquidity ratioamounted to 125%.• IssuesShort-term financingIn addition to traditional sources of short-term liquidity, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also has a policy of actively diversifying its fi nancingsources. This resulted in a program of structured issues specifi cto the US market, a domestic commercial paper issuance programin Japan and a CD program based in London and intendedfor sale in Asia.Medium-and long-term risk<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s long-term liquidity sources consist of customerdeposits, interbank borrowings and issues of various types ofdebt securities (e.g. certifi cates of deposit, BMTNs and EMTNs).Because of the duration of the crisis that began in August 2007,<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has stepped up issuance of products withliquidity options (EMTNs that can be called or put at the investor’sdiscretion).<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> makes extensive use of its Euro Medium TermNotes (EMTN) programs: there is a program governed by Englishlaw for a maximum amount of €50 billion, and a program governedby French law for a maximum amount of €15 billion.Unless stated otherwise, issues carried out under these programsfor <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> ‘s international and domestic customersare « structured«, meaning that the coupon paid and/or theamount redeemed on maturity comprises a component which islinked to one or more market indexes (equity, interest rate, currencyor commodity indexes).Similarly, certain issues are termed« Credit Linked Notes«, meaning that the amount redeemed isreduced in the event of default on the part of a third party that iscontractually defi ned at the time of issue. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> and<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Hong Kong regularly issue long-term certifi -116SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

It was one of the fi rst Frenchbanks to set up European cross-border customer loan refi nancingprogrammes with the Bank of France. Like other <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group entities, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> benefi ts from fi nancingarranged as part of the government plan to support the bankingsector via Société de Financement de l’Economie Française.Equity and long-term fi nancing transactions are also used to fi -nance the Bank, although this is not their primary purpose.• Redeemable subordinated notes: considering the current operatingstructure of the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> SA Group, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> no longer issues redeemable subordinated notes, but usessubordinated borrowings entered into with <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> SA.These borrowings are generally at an adjustable rate.• The subordinated borrowings may be distinguished from ordinaryloans and bonds due to the ranking of the debt contractuallydefi ned in the subordination clause. In the event of liquidation,borrowings obtained by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> will be reimbursedafter secured and ordinary-ranking creditors have been paid,but before reimbursement of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s participatingsecurities and loans.• Deeply subordinated notes: the deeply subordinated notesissued by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> are fi xed-rate or adjustable-rateperpetual borrowings, senior to ordinary shares but subordinatedto all subordinated debt. The coupons are non-cumulativeand subordinated to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s annual net incomewhich must be suffi cient to remain positive after payment of thecoupon due for the fi nancial year in question. Notes issued by<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> provide for the possibility of early redemptionby the issuer after the tenth anniversary of their issue,subject to the prior agreement of the Secretary-General of theAutorité de Contrôle Prudentiel. Depending on the issue, theinterest rate may be increased after the fi rst possible date forearly redemption by the issuer. There were no issues of deeplysubordinated notes in 2010.Exchange-rate riskCurrency risk is assessed mainly by measuring net residual exposure,taking into account gross foreign exchange positions andhedging.Structural exchange-rate riskThe Group’s structural exchange-rate risk results from its otherthan-temporaryinvestments in assets denominated in foreign currencies,mainly the equity of its foreign operating entities, whetherthey result from acquisitions, transfers of funds from Head Offi ceor the capitalisation of local earnings.In most cases, the Group’s policy is to borrow the currency inwhich the investment is made in order to immunise that investmentfrom currency risk. These borrowings are documented asinvestment hedging instruments. In some cases, particularly forilliquid currencies, the investment gives rise to purchases of thelocal currency. Currency risk is then hedged, if possible, throughforward transactions.The Group’s main gross structural foreign exchange positions aredenominated in US dollar, in US dollar-linked currencies (mainlyMiddle Eastern and some Asian currencies), in sterling and inSwiss franc.The Group’s policy for managing structural foreign exchange positionsaims to achieve two main goals:• fi rst, to protect assets by reducing the risk of a fall in value in theassets under consideration;• second, to protect prudential ratios by neutralizing the Group’ssolvency ratio from currency fl uctuations; unhedged structuralcurrency positions will be scaled so as to equal the proportion ofrisk-weighted assets denominated in the currencies concernedand unhedged by other types of equity in the same currency.Hedging of structural currency risk is managed centrally andarranged following decisions by the Bank’s Asset and LiabilityManagement Committee.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s structural currency positions are also includedwith those of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A., which are presentedfi ve times a year to its Asset and Liability Management Committee,chaired by its CEO.Operational exchange-rate riskThe Bank is further exposed to operational exchange-ratepositions on its foreign-currency income and expenses, both atHead Offi ce and in its foreign operations.The Group’s general policy is to limit net operational exchangeratepositions as far as possible by periodically hedging them,usually without prior hedging of earnings not yet generated exceptif they have a high probability and a high risk of impairment.Rules and authorisations applicable to the management ofoperational positions are put in place by decision of the <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Asset-Liability Management Committee.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 117


32010 MANAGEMENT REPORTRate and change risks hedgingIn managing its fi nancial risks, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses interestrateswaps and forex transactions, as hedging operations asregards the intention for which they are undertaken.The note 3.4 to the Group consolidated fi nancial statements presentsthe market values and notional amounts of derivative fi nancialinstruments held for hedging.Fair value hedgesThe aim is to protect the intrinsic value of fi xed-rate fi nancial assetsand liabilities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, byhedging them with instruments that are also at fi xed rate. Whenhedging takes place through derivatives (swaps), the derivativesare termed fair value hedging derivatives.Hedging carried out in this respect by Asset-Liability Managementrelates to non-interest-bearing private-banking customer deposits,which are analyzed as fi xed-rate fi nancial liabilities.Cash flow hedgesThe second aim is to protect interest margin so that interest fl owsgenerated by variable-rate assets fi nanced by fi xed-rate liabilities(working capital in particular) are not affected by the future fi xingof interest rates on these items.When the required neutralisation takes place through derivatives(swaps), these derivatives are termed cash fl ow hedging derivatives.According to IFRS 7, future interests related to balance sheetitems under cash fl ow hedge strategy are detailed, by maturity,in the table below:€ millionHedged cash fl owsto receiveHedged cash fl owsto pay31.12.20100 to 1year1 to5 yearsOver5 ansTotal72 552 366 990(3) (14) 0 (17) Documentation under IFRS of fair value and cash flowshedgesAs regards macro-hedges managed by Asset- LiabilityManagement, hedge relationships are documented frominception and checked quarterly through forward-and backwardlookingtests.For this purpose, hedged items are classifi ed by maturity, usingthe characterictics of contracts or, for items without contractualmaturities (such as demand deposits), runoff models based oneach product’s behaviour.The comparison between this maturityschedule and that of the derivative instrument allows effi ciency ofhedging to be assessed.Hedging of net investments inforeign currenciesThe instruments used to manage structural exchange-rate riskare classifi ed as hedges of net investments in foreign currencies.The effectiveness of these hedges is documented every quarter.118SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• OPERATIONAL RISKOperational risk is the risk of loss resulting from shortcomings in internal procedures or information systems, human error or external eventsthat are not linked to a credit, market or liquidity risk.Management of operational risksThe Risk Management and Permanent Controls division isresponsible for supervising the system, and it is overseen by theManagement Board through the operational risk section of <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Internal Control committee.• GovernanceOperational risk management specifi cally relies on a network ofpermanent controllers, who also perform the functions of operationalrisk managers, covering all Group subsidiaries and businesslines, and who are supervised by the Risk Management and PermanentControls division (this system is described in the Reportby the Chairman of the Board to the shareholders’ meeting onpage 50).The system is monitored by internal control committees under theauthority of each entity’s management. Head offi ce control functionsare invited to the meetings of these committees.• Risk identifi cation and qualitativeassessmentsIn accordance with principles in force within the Credit <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A. Group, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s Risk and Permanent ControlDepartment implemented a qualitative and quantitative systemdesigned to identify, assess, prevent and monitor operational risk,as required by the Basel II reform.The operational risk mapping process is applied to all Group entities.These risk maps allow <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> to supervise themost sensitive processes and to draw up control plans. They areupdated every year.• Operational loss detection and signifi -cant incident reportingA unifi ed procedure for loss detection and for reporting signifi cantincidents has been set up across the whole scope of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong>. The data required by the internal model for calculatingthe economic capital allocation, in accordance with the Basel IIadvanced method, are consolidated into a single database thatprovides fi ve years of historical data.• Calculation and allocation of economiccapital with respect to operational risksCapital requirements are calculated annually at the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> level, based on historical loss data together with risk scenarios.They are then allocated by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Paris businessline and entity.Capital requirement is calculated using the internal AMA methodology(Advanced Measurement Approach) of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group applied on <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s perimeter. This model hasbeen validated at the end of 2007 by the Autorité de ContrôlePrudentiel (French Banking Authority).• Production of operational scorecardsThe Risk Management and Permanent Controls division producesa quarterly operational risk scorecard, highlighting key events andmovements in costs related to these risks.

2010 MANAGEMENT REPORT 3• NON-COMPLIANCE RISKSNon-compliance risk is the risk associated with failure to complywith banking or fi nancial regulations, internal policies andprocedures or rules of conduct which may lead to criminal penalties,penalties assessed by the regulatory authorities, legal disputes withcustomers and, more broadly, reputational damage.Management of non-compliancerisksCompliance business line oversees compliance with laws and regulationsapplicable to <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s activities. Its work enablesstakeholders (customers, staff, investors, regulators and suppliers)to be confi dent that these laws and regulations are being compliedwith and enforced. Compliance has two main missions:• To protect <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> from potentially damaging or illegalexternal activities. It has to deal in particular with two missions:fraud prevention and fi nancial security which involves the preventionof money laundering and terrorist fi nancing, and the managementof asset freezes and embargos. Financial security relies onongoing in-depth knowledge of customers.• To protect the interests of customers and its reputation in the marketsby combating internal ethical breaches (insider trading, internalfraud, confl icts of interest, unsuitable advice etc.).Compliance also ensures that the systems in place for preventingthese risks are effi cient by:• translating laws and regulations into procedures and compliancemanuals;• training staff in compliance matters;• provide opinions on transactions referred to it;• checking that the compliance system operates correctly.The Compliance business line’s governance is set out in the reportby the Chairman of the Board of Directors to the shareholders’ meetingon page 53.Risk indicatorsNon-compliance analysis and risk monitoring involves structuredsystems in place as follows:• governance texts and rules implemented and concerningcompliance;• risk mapping, which allows the assessment of risks including therisks of non-compliance and fraud within the Group;• reporting, which allows the assessment of the global compliancesystem;• fi nancial security tools designed to generate and report alertsand handle them;• tools for monitoring sensitive or complex transactions andspecifi c market transactionsSHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 121


32010 MANAGEMENT REPORT PILLAR 3 OF THE BASEL II REFORM• REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTApplication of capital requirementswith respect to prudentialsupervisionCredit institutions and investment companies must comply withminimum solvency ratios and ratios concerning major risks on anindividual basis or, if applicable, sub-consolidated basis. However,they may be exempted subject to conditions set out in article 4 ofregulation 2000-03 of 6 September 2000.The order dated 20 February 2007 allowed exemptions from theseratios under certain conditions. Accordingly, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>sent a request to the French Prudential Supervisory Authority thatcertain group subsidiaries under its sole control be exempted onan individual basis. The subsidiaries concerned were exempted.Solvency ratio reformThe order of 20 February 2007, which transposes the EuropeanCRD (Capital Requirements Directive) into French law, defi nedthe « capital requirements applicable to credit institutions andinvestment companies«. In accordance with those requirements,the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group has incorporated the impact of thisnew directive into its capital and risk management procedures.The CRD ratio has had legal force since 1st January 2008.However, banks are continuing to calculate the CAD ratio during aparallel phase, as the regulatory authority has defi ned a minimumcapital requirements of 80% of these requirements until 31December 2011.The method for calculating the solvency ratio is set out in theCapital Requirements Directive. The ratio is based on themeasurement of assets weighted by credit risk, market risk andoperational risk. The resulting capital requirements for each riskare stated below.In accordance with the order of 20 February 2007, credit riskexposures are measured using two approaches:• the standardised method, based on external measurementsand standard weightings for each category of exposure;• the IRB (Internal Rating Based) method, which relies onthe institution’s internal rating system. There is a distinctionbetween:- the IRB foundation method, for which institutions may onlyuse their estimated probabilities of default;- and the advanced IRB method, for which institutions useinternal estimates for all risk components, i.e. probability ofdefault, loss given default, exposure at default and maturity.In late 2007, the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel authorised the<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group to use its advanced internal ratingsystems to calculate regulatory capital requirements with respectto credit risk.• RISK MANAGEMENTThe policies, objectives and systems put in place to manage andmitigate risks are described in the « Risk management « chapter ofthe management report, on page 94 to 121.• PRUDENTIAL RATIOSDifferences between the scopeof statutory and regulatoryconsolidationInsurance companies are excluded from the scope of prudentialsupervision, but are included in the accounting scope of consolidation.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> owns only one insurance company:CAIRS Assurance SA, which does not show any capital shortage.122SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

The approach aims to comply withthe requirements of the second pillar of Basel II, particularly asregards the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy AssessmentProcess), which institutions are responsible for implementing.The main objective of this procedure is to ensure that groupshareholders’ equity and the shareholders’ equity of Groupentities are appropriate given the risks incurred.Risks quantifi ed for internal capital purposes include:• risks covered by the fi rst pillar of Basel II (credit and counterpartyrisks, operational risks, market risks);• risks covered by the second pillar of Basel II (interest-rate risk inthe banking book, concentration risk in the loan book).Liquidity risk is excluded from this procedure, since the Groupprefers to take a qualitative approach to managing this risk. Thisinvolves ensuring the quality of its management and supervisionsystem, together with the liquidity continuity plan.In addition to these risks, the internal capital procedure requiresthe Group to check that the capital requirements calculatedunder the fi rst pillar adequately cover any residual risks relating totechniques used to mitigate credit and securitisation risks. If risksare not adequately covered, an adjustment relative to fi rst-pillarrequirements is made by the entities exposed to these risks.The quantitative approach used to calculate internal capital isincremental, and can be adjusted relative to fi rst-pillar requirements.The approach consists:• of adjusting capital requirements calculated with respect to thefi rst pillar, so that internal capital refl ects economic risks in eachbusiness;• of supplementing requirements corresponding to fi rst-pillarrisks, taking into account the second pillar;• of taking into account, in a prudent manner, the effects of diversification resulting from carrying out diversifi ed activities withinthe same group.Within <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, exposure to counterparty and creditrisk is calculated using an internal model, and internal capital iscalculated using an economic capital model with a threshold of99.97%.As regards market risk, fi rst-pillar capital requirements are calculatedusing internal value-at-risk models, and internal capital formarket risk takes into account the liquidity of instruments in thetrading book. As for credit risk, the percentile used to calculateinternal capital for market risk is 99.97%.As regards internal capital for interest-rate risk in the bankingbook, the Group applies the interest-rate shocks specifi ed in thesecond pillar of Basel II, which correspond to instant and parallelupward and downward shocks of 200 basis points. The calculatedinternal capital fi gure includes the risk-offsetting effect of netinterest margin on customer deposits.• CREDIT RISKExposure to credit risk• Probability of default (PD) means the probability that a counterpartywill default in a 1-year period.• Loss given default (LGD) means the relationship between theloss when a counterparty defaults and the amount of the exposureat the time of default;• Gross exposure means the amount of exposure (on- and offbalancesheet) before the application of credit risk mitigationtechniques and before the application of the conversion factor(CCF).• Exposure at default (EAD): means the amount of exposure(on- and off-balance sheet) before the application of credit riskmitigation techniques and before the application of the creditconversion factor (CCF).• Conversion factor (CCF): ratio between the unused portion of acommitment that will be drawn and at risk at the time of default,and the unused portion of the commitment calculated on thebasis of the authorised limit or, where applicable, the unauthorisedlimit if higher.• Risk-weighted assets (RWA): Exposure at default (EAD) afterapplication of a weighting ratios• Value adjustments: decline in the value of a specifi c asset dueto credit risk, recognised either through a partial write-off or adeduction from the carrying amount of the asset.• External credit ratings: credit ratings provided by an externalcredit rating agency recognised by the French Prudential SupervisoryAuthority.Credit exposures are classifi ed by type of counterparty and typeof fi nancial product, in one of the exposure categories in the tableabove and defi ned by article 40-1 of the order of 20 February2007 relating to the capital requirements applicable to credit institutionsand investment companies:• The « institutions« category corresponds to exposures to creditinstitutions and investment companies.

32010 MANAGEMENT REPORTCredit risk mitigation techniquesDefi nitions:• Collateral: a security interest giving the bank the right to liquidate,keep or obtain title to certain amounts or assets in theevent of default or other specifi c credit events affecting counterparty,thereby reducing the credit risk on an exposure;• Guarantee: undertaking by a third party to pay the sum due inthe event of the counterparty’s default or other specifi c creditevents, therefore reducing the credit on an exposure.• Collateral managementThe main categories of collateral taken by the bank are describedin the section of the management report entitled « Risk management– Credit Risk – Guarantees and Collateral Received«.Collateral is analysed when granted to assess the value of theasset, its volatility and the correlation between the value of thecollateral and the quality of the counterparty fi nanced. Regardlessof collateral quality, the fi rst criteria in the lending decision isalways the borrower’s ability to repay sums due from cash fl owgenerated by its operating activities, except for some commoditiesfi nancing.For fi nancial collateral, a minimum exposure hedging rate is usuallyincluded in the loan contract, with readjustment clauses. Financialcollateral is revalued according to remargining and marking-tomarket frequency and at least quarterly.The minimum exposure hedging rate (or the haircut applied tothe value of the collateral under Basel II) is determined by measuringthe pseudo-maximum deviation of the value of the securitieson the revaluation date. This measurement is calculated on a99% confi dence interval over a time horizon covering the periodbetween each revaluation, the period between the date of defaultand the date on which asset liquidation starts, and the durationof the liquidation period. A haircut is also applied for currencymismatch risk when the collateral and the collateralised exposureare denominated in different currencies. Additional haircuts areapplied when the size of the securities position implies a blocksale or when the borrower and the issuer of the collateral securitiesbelong to the same group.Other types of asset may also be pledged as collateral. This isnotably the case for certain activities such as aircraft, shipping orcommodities fi nancing. These businesses are conducted by themiddle offi ces, which have specifi c expertise in valuing the assetsfi nanced.• Protection providersTwo major types of guarantee are used (other than intra-groupguarantees):• export credit insurance taken out by the bank;• unconditional payment guarantees.The main guarantee providers (excluding credit derivatives)are export credit agencies, most of which enjoy a good qualitysovereign rating. The largest are Coface (France), Sace SPA(Italy), Eurler Hermès (Germany) and Korea Export Insur (Korea).• Credit derivatives used for hedgingCredit derivatives used for hedging are described in the « Riskmanagement – credit risk – use of credit derivatives« section ofthe management report.Securisations• Defi nitionSecuritisation is a transaction or a structure under which the creditrisk associated with an exposure or pool of exposures is subdividedinto tranches with the following features:• cash fl ows from the underlying exposure or pool of exposuresare used to make payments;• subordination of the tranches determines how losses are allocatedduring the period of the transaction or structure.Within securitisation operations, the following distinctions can bemade:• Traditional securitisations: implies the economic transfer of thesecuritised exposures to a special purpose entity that issuesnotes. The transaction or structure implies the transfer ofownership in the securitised exposures by the originating bankor via a sub-participation. The notes issued do not representpayment obligations for the originating bank;• Synthetic securitisations: the credit risk is transferred throughthe use of credit derivatives or guarantees and the pool of exposuresis kept on the balance sheet of the originating bank.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s securitisation exposures are dealt with usingthe IRB securisation approaches:• The Rating Based Approach (RBA) for exposures that have anexternal public rating (directly or through an inferred rating). Theexternal rating agencies used are Standard & Poors, Moody’s,Fitch Ratings and Dominion Bond Rating Services DBRS;• The Internal Assessment Approach (IAA);• The Supervisory Formula Approach (SFA) for exposures withoutexternal public rating.• Aim and strategySecuritisation for third parties<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Corporate and Investment Bank securitisations forthird parties are structured around two strategic axes:Financing via commercial conduits (sponsoring)<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is involved in the management of conduitsAsset-Backed Commercial Paper as liquidity provider.

They are used in addition to a rangeof risk transfer instruments (see section of the management reportentitled « Risk management – Credit Risk - Credit Risk MitigationMechanisms – Use of Credit Derivatives«).The aim is to reduce concentration of corporate credit exposures,to diversify the portfolio and to reduce loss levels. This businessis managed by the Credit Portfolio Management (CPM) team. Theinternal rating based approach is used to calculate risk weightedsecuritisation exposures on own account. In this business, thebank does not purchase or hold protection on all tranches.Hence, the bank’s exposure is either from the portions of thesecuritisations held for own account or sales of protection on thetranches for which the bank does not want to hold protection.Discontinuing operationsIt corresponds to equity investments which are either discontinuingoperations or exposures for which the risk is consideredto be low and that <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is willing to carry for thelong term, and which in 2009 were segregated into a dedicatedprudential banking book.2010 business reviewIn 2010, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> securitisation operations werecharacterised by:• the support of government ABS market development in theUnited-States and its reopening in Europe. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>structured and organised the investment (as arranger and bookrunner) of a signifi cant number of primary ABS issues on behalfof its customers Financial Institutions and Consumer Financing.• Regarding ABCP conduits, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> maintained itsposition among the leaders in Europe and in the American marketthrough the renewal or the implementation of new securitisationtransactions for commercial or fi nancial receivables mostlyon behalf of its Corporate customers to fi nance their ordinaryactivity in line with the bank’s risk profi le.

4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS• NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ANDPOLICIES APPLICABLE, ASSESSMENTS ANDESTIMATED USED1.1 Applicable standards and comparabilityPursuant to EC regulation 1606/2002, the parent-company fi nancialstatements were prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS standardsand IFRIC interpretations applicable at 31 December 2010as adopted by the European Union (the « carve-out » version) anduses certain dispensations of IAS 39 as regards macro-hedgeaccounting.The applicable standards are available on the European Commissionwebsite, at the following address:http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_en.htm.The standards and interpretations are identical to those usedand described in the Group fi nancial statements at 31 December2009, except for the change in option for the recognition ofactuarial gains and losses on the post-employment-benefi ts ofthe defi ned-benefi t plans. According to IAS 19, actuarial gainsand losses on defi ned-benefi t plans can be recognised:• either in profi t and loss in their entirety• or in profi t and loss for a portion determined according to the« corridor » approach• or in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) in theirentirety.Until 31 December 2009, all the actuarial gains and losses wereaccounted for by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> in the profi t and loss of theperiod.To provide information more comparable with the principles appliedby the other companies, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has decidedto record the actuarial gains and losses in « unrealized gains andlosses recorded directly in shareholders’ equity ». This approach isapplied permanently and homogeneously to all the pension plansas of 1 January 2010.This change in accounting option is in accordance with the accountingstandard IAS 8, with a retrospective application.

These estimates are based on certain assumptionsand involve risks and uncertainties as to their actual achievementin the future.Actual results may be infl uenced by many factors, including:• activity in domestic and international markets,• fl uctuations in interest and exchange rates,• the economic and political climate in certain industries orcountries;• changes in regulations or legislation.This list is not exhaustive.Accounting estimates based on assumptions are principally usedto value the following assets and liabilities:• fi nancial instruments measured at fair value,• investments in non-consolidated companies,• pension plans and other future employee benefi ts,• stock option plans,• impairment of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,• impairment of unrecoverable loans,• reserves,• goodwill impairment,• deferred tax assets.The use of assessments and estimates is discussed below.Financial instruments(IAS 32 and 39)In the fi nancial statements, fi nancial assets and liabilities aretreated in accordance with IAS 39 as adopted by the EuropeanCommission.At initial recognition, fi nancial assets and liabilities are measuredat fair value including transaction costs (except for fi nancialinstruments recognized at fair value through profi t and loss). Afterinitial recognition, fi nancial assets and liabilities are measured,depending on their classifi cation, either at fair value or amortizedcost using the effective interest rate method.Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged,or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in anarm’s length transaction.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimatedfuture cash payments or receipts through the expected lifeof the fi nancial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter periodto the net carrying amount of the fi nancial asset or fi nancial liability.150SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4• SecuritiesClassification of financial assetsUnder IAS 39, fi nancial assets are divided into four categories:• Financial assets at fair value through profi t and loss classifi ed asheld for trading and fi nancial assets designated as at fair valuethrough profi t and loss,• held-to-maturity investments,• loans and receivables,• available-for-sale fi nancial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss classifiedas held for trading and financial assets designatedas at fair value through profit and lossAccording to IAS 39, this portfolio comprises securities that areclassifi ed under fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t andloss either as a result of a genuine intention to trade them or designatedas at fair value by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>.Financial assets at fair value through profi t and loss classifi ed asheld for trading are assets acquired or generated by the enterpriseprimarily for purposes of making a profi t from short-termprice fl uctuations or an arbitrage margin.Financial assets may be designated as at fair value through profi tand loss if they meet the conditions set out in the standard, inthe three following cases: for hybrid instruments including one ormore embedded derivatives, to reduce accounting mismatch or ifthere is a group of managed fi nancial assets whose performanceis measured at fair value. Hybrid instruments are generally designatedas at fair value through profi t and loss to avoid separaterecognition and measurement of derivatives embedded in them.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> generally uses this approach for certain minorityinterests in venture capital companies measured at fair value.Securities that are classifi ed under fi nancial assets at fair valuethrough profi t and loss are recognised at fair value at inception,excluding transaction costs attributable directly to their acquisition(which are accounted for directly in profi t and loss) and includingaccrued interest.They are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are takento profi t and loss.No impairment is recorded for this category of securities.Securities held for sale pending syndication are included in the« fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss » categoryand are marked to market.Held-to-maturity financial assetsThis category includes securities with fi xed or determinable paymentsand fi xed maturities that <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has the intentionand ability to hold until maturity other than:• securities that are initially classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fairvalue through profi t and loss at the time of initial recognition by<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>;• securities that fall into the « loans and receivables » category.Hence, debt securities that are not traded in an active marketcannot be included in the « Held-to-maturity investments » category.There are sale restrictions for instruments classifi ed in this category,except for sales under specifi c circumstances as describedin IAS 39.Hedging of interest-rate risk in this category of securities is noteligible for hedge accounting as defi ned by IAS 39.Held-to-maturity securities are initially recognised at acquisitioncost, including transaction costs that are directly attributable tothe acquisition and including accrued interest.They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate method, including any premiums or discounts,and adjusted for any impairment provisions.Impairment rules for this fi nancial asset category are disclosed inthe specifi c chapter dedicated to « impairment of securities » whensecurities are measured at amortised cost.Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables comprise fi nancial assets that are notlisted « on an active market » and that generate fi xed or determinablepayments.Securities are initially recognised at purchase price, includingdirectly attributable transaction costs and accrued interest,and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod, adjusted for any impairment.They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate method adjusted for any impairment provisions.Impairment rules for this fi nancial asset category are disclosedin the specifi c chapter dedicated to « impairment of securities ».Available-for-sale financial assetsIAS 39 defi nes available-for-sale fi nancial assets as the defaultcategory.Available-for-sale securities are initially recognised at fair value,including transaction costs that are directly attributable to theacquisition and including accrued interest.Changes in fair value are recorded in gains/ (losses) through shareholders’equity.If the securities are sold, these changes are reversed out andrecognized in profi t and loss.Amortisation of any premiums or discounts on fi xed income securitiesis taken to profi t and loss using the effective interest ratemethod.Accrued interests are accounted for in the relevant balance sheetaccount, accrued interest against the corresponding profi t andloss account.This fi nancial asset category is subject to impairment (see dedicatedsection « impairment of securities »).Impairment of securitiesImpairment shall be accounted for when there is objective evidenceof impairment as a result of one or more events that occurredafter the initial recognition of the securities, other than thosemeasured as at fair value through profi t and loss.Objective evidence of impairment corresponds to a prolonged orsignifi cant decline in the value of the security for equity securitiesor the appearance of signifi cant deterioration in credit risk evidencedby a risk of non recovery for debt securities.For equity securities, the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses quantitativecriteria as indicators of potential impairment. These quantitativecriteria are mainly based on a loss of 30% or more of the valueof the equity instrument over a period of 6 consecutive months.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also takes into account other factors such asfi nancial diffi culties of the issuer, short term prospects.Notwithstanding the above-mentioned criteria, the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> recognises an impairment loss when there is a decline in thevalue of the equity instrument, higher than 50% or prolonged over3 years.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 151


4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor debt securities, impairment criteria are the same as for loansand receivables.Such impairment is recognised:• for securities measured at amortised cost, through the use of animpairment account; the amount of the loss is recognised in theincome statement, and may be reversed in case of subsequentimprovements;• for available-for-sale securities, the amount of the aggregateloss is transferred from other comprehensive income to theincome statement; in the event of subsequent recoveries inthe price of the securities, the loss previously transferred to theincome statement may be reversed via the income statementwhen warranted by circumstances for debt instruments.Recognition date<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. records securities classifi ed as « Heldto-maturityfi nancial assets » and « Loans and receivables » onthe settlement date. Other securities, regardless of type orclassifi cation, are recognised on the trade date.• Reclassifi cation of fi nancial instrumentsIn accordance with the amendment to IAS 39, published andadopted by the European Union in October 2008, it is now authorizedto reclassify fi nancial assets as follows:• from « held-for-trading fi nancial assets » and « available-for-salefi nancial assets » to « loans and receivables » if the entity intendsand is able to hold the fi nancial asset concerned for the foreseeablefuture or until maturity, subject to compliance with eligibilitycriteria as per reclassifi cation date (and in particular thecriterion of no listing on an active market);• in rare and documented circumstances, from the « held-for-tradingfi nancial assets » to the « available-for-sale fi nancial assets »or « held-to-maturity fi nancial assets » categories, subject tocompliance with eligibility criteria as per reclassifi cation date.<strong>Crédit</strong> Agicole <strong>CIB</strong> has not used the latter option allowing assetsto be reclassifi ed in rare circumstances.Fair value on the reclassifi cation date becomes the reclassifi edasset’s new cost or new amortized cost, as the case may be.Information on reclassifi cations carried out by <strong>Crédit</strong> Agicole<strong>CIB</strong> in accordance with the amendment to IAS 39 is providedin note 9.• Temporary purchases and sales ofsecuritiesTemporary sales of securities (securities lending/ borrowing, repurchaseagreements) do not fulfi l the derecognition conditions ofIAS 39 and are regarded as collateralised fi nancing. Assets lentor sold under repurchase agreements are kept on the balancesheet. If applicable, cash received, representing the liability tothe transferee, is recognised on the liabilities side of the balancesheet. Items borrowed or bought under repurchase agreementsare not recognised on the transferee’s balance sheet. Instead, ifthe items are subsequently sold, the transferee recognises theamount paid out representing its receivable from the transferor.Revenue and expenses relating to such transactions are takento profi t and loss on a prorata temporis basis, except in the caseof assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value through profi tand loss.• Lending operationsLoans are principally allocated to the « Loans and receivables »category. In accordance with IAS 39, they are initially valued atfair value and subsequently valued at amortised cost using theeffective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is therate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments to theoriginal net loan amount, including any discounts and any transactionincome or costs that are an integral part of the effectiveinterest rate.Loans and securities held for sale in the near future pending syndicationare included in the « fi nancial assets at fair value throughprofi t and loss » category and are marked to market.Subordinated loans and repurchase agreements (represented bycertifi cates or securities) are included under the various categoriesof loans according to counterparty type.Revenue calculated using the effective interest rate on loans isaccounted for in accrued interest account,against the correspondingprofi t and loss account.Impaired loans and receivablesIn accordance with IAS 39, loans recorded under « loans andreceivables » are impaired when one or more loss events occursafter collection of such loans. Once these loans and receivableshave been identifi ed, they may be individually or collectivelyassessed for impairment. In this way, expected losses are recognisedthrough impairment equal to the difference between thebook value of loans (amortised cost) and the sum of expectedfuture cash fl ows, discounted using the original effective interestrate, or in the form of discounts on loans restructured due to clientdefault.The following distinctions are made:• loans individually assessed for impairment: these are impairedloans and loans restructured due to customer default that havebeen discounted;• loans collectively assessed for impairment: these are loans thatare not individually assessed for impairment, for which impairmentis determined for each uniform class of loans displayingsimilar credit risk characteristics. It concerns in particular loansthat are past due.Loans that are past due consist of loans that are overdue but notindividually impaired (part of the watch-list category).Impairment based on the discounted method is estimated withreference to several factors, notably business or sector-related.It is possible that future credit risk measurements will differ significantly from current measurements, and this could require anincrease or decrease in the impairment amount.Probable losses in respect of off-balance sheet commitmentsare covered by provisions recognized as liabilities on the balancesheet.Additions to and releases from impairment for non-recovery riskare included in cost of risk agregate. The increase in the bookvalue of receivables resulting from the accretion of impairmentand the amortisation of the discount on restructured loans andreceivables is recognised in net interest income.Loans individually assessed for impairmentThese are loans of all kinds, even those which are guaranteed,exposed to identifi ed credit risk arising from one of the followingevents:• the loan is at least three months in arrears (six months for mortgageloans and property leases and six months for loans to152SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4local authorities to take into account the specifi c characteristicsof these loans);• the borrower’s fi nancial position is such that an identifi ed riskexists regardless of whether the loan is in arrears or not;• the bank and borrower are in legal proceedings.When a loan is classifi ed as impaired, all other loans and commitmentsrelating to that borrower are also classifi ed in their entiretyas impaired, whether or not they are collateralised.If a restructured loan is still kept in the impaired loan category,the discount is not recognized separately but through impairment.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> records impairment corresponding to all foreseeablelosses, discounted at the initial effective interest rate.For small loans with similar characteristics, the analysis of individualcounterparties may be replaced with a statistical estimate ofprojected losses.In the case of restructured loans whose initial fi nancial terms (interestrate, maturity) have been adjusted by the entity concernedbecause of counterparty risk, whereby the loan is moved to theperforming category, the reduction in future cash fl ows from thecounterparty as a result of restructuring gives rise to a discount.The discount recognised when a loan is restructured is recordedin the cost of risk agregate.The discount corresponds to the reduction in future cash fl owsdiscounted at the original effective interest rate.It is equal to the difference between:• the par value of the loan,• the sum of the restructured loan’s theoretical future cash fl owsdiscounted at the original effective interest rate (defi ned on thedate the fi nancing commitment was made).Loans collectively assessed for impairmentStatistical and historical customer default experience shows thatthere is an identifi ed risk that loans non impaired individually willbe partially uncollectible. To cover these risks, which cannot bynature be allocated to individual loans, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has recorded,based on these statistical data, various collective impairmentprovisions on the asset side of its balance sheet, such as:Impairment on sensitive exposure:Such impairment losses are calculated on the basis of Basel IImodels.As part of the implementation of Basel II, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> calculatesthe amount of losses anticipated within one year, usingstatistical tools and databases, based on multiple observationcriteria meeting the defi nition of a loss event within the meaningof IAS 39.Impairment is measured with reference to the likelihood of nonpaymentin each borrower rating class, but also based on theexperienced judgment of management.Impairment is calculated by applying a correction factor to theanticipated loss, this factor being based on management experiencedjudgement and taking into account a number of variablesthat are not included in the Basel II models, such as the extensionof the anticipated losses horizon beyond one year as well as otherfactors related to economics, business and other conditions.Other impairments determined on a collective basis<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also records collective impairment to covercustomer risks that are not individually allocated to individualloans, such as sector or country impairment. This impairmentis intended to cover estimated risks based on a sector or geographicalanalysis for which there is statistical or historical risk ofpartial non-recovery.• Financial liabilitiesIAS 39 as adopted by the European Union recognises three categoriesof fi nancial liabilities:• fi nancial liabilities at fair value through profi t and loss classifi edas held for trading. Fair value changes on this portfolio are recognisedin profi t and loss;• fi nancial liabilities designated at fair value through profi t and loss.Financial liabilities may be designated as at fair value throughprofi t and loss if they meet the conditions set out in the standard,in the three following cases: for hybrid instruments containingone or more embedded derivative, to reduce accountingmismatch, or for a group of fi nancial liabilities that is managedand whose performance is measured at fair value. The electionof this category is generally used for in hybrid instruments inorder to avoid separate accounting and measurement of embeddedderivatives;• other fi nancial liabilities: this category includes all other fi nancialliabilities. These liabilities are initially measured at fair value(including transaction income and costs) and subsequently atamortized cost using the effective interest rate method.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> structured issuance transactions are classified as fi nancial liabilities at fair value as held for trading. Fair valuechanges are recognised in profi t and loss.In accordance with IAS 39, the Group evaluates its structuredissuance accounted for as held for trading liabilities, by takingas reference the spread that specialised participants accept toreceive for acquiring new Group’s issuance.• Securities classifi ed as fi nancial liabilitiesor equityDistinction between liabilities and shareholders’equityA debt instrument or fi nancial liability is a contractual obligation to:• deliver cash or another fi nancial asset;• exchange fi nancial instruments under conditions that are potentiallyunfavourable for the entity.An equity instrument is a contract evidencing a residual interestin an enterprise after deduction of all of its liabilities (net assets).Revised IAS 32 as adopted by EU on the 21 January 2009enables, under conditions, to qualify as equity instruments somefi nancial instruments that were previously qualifi ed as debt instruments.Such fi nancial instruments are:• some puttable instruments on the issuer side;• some instruments that impose on the issuer an obligation todeliver to the holder a prorata share of the net assets of theissuer only on liquidation.Therefore, provided that conditions are satisfi ed, OPCVM securitiesshall now be classifi ed as equity instruments on the issuerside.Symmetrically, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group has changed the qualification for such OPCVM securities on the holder side. Therefore,OPCVM securities with bond and money market underlying shallstill be considered as debt instruments; other OPCVM securities(with Equity, hybrid, alternative underlying…) are considered asequity instruments.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 153


4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPurchase of Treasury sharesTreasury shares (or equivalent derivatives, such as options to buyshares) purchased by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, including shares heldto hedge stock option plans, do not meet the defi nition of a fi nancialasset and are deducted from shareholders’ equity. They donot generate any impact on the income statement.• DerivativesDerivative instruments are fi nancial assets or liabilities and are initiallyrecognised on balance sheet at their fair value at inceptionof the transaction. At each balance sheet date, derivatives aremeasured at fair value, whether they are held for trading purposesor used for hedging accounting.Changes in the fair value of derivatives is recorded in profi t andloss (except in the special case of a cash fl ow hedge relationship).Hedge accountingFair-value hedgeI is intended to protect against exposures tochanges in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognizedfi rm undertaking.Cash fl ow hedge is intended to protect against exposure to variabilityin future cash fl ows that is attributable to a particulat riskassociated with a recognized asset or liability (such as all or somefuture interest payments on variable-rate debt) or a highly probableforecast transaction.Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation is intended toreduce the risk of a fall in fair value arising from the exchangerate risk on a foreign investment made in a currency other thanthe euro.The following criteria must be met in order for hedge accountingto be applicable:• the hedging instrument and the hedged instrument must beeligible,• there must be formal documentation from inception, includingprimarily individual identifi cation and characteristics of thehedged item, the hedging instrument, the nature of the hedgerelationship and the nature of risk being hedged,• the hedge effectiveness must be demonstrated, at inceptionand retrospectively, through tests performed at each closingdate.When hedging the interest-rate risk exposure of a portfolio offi nancial assets or liabilities, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> favors fair-valuehedge documentation, as permitted by IAS 39 as adopted byEuropean Union (« carve out » version).In addition, the Group documents these hedge relationships onthe basis of gross position of derivatives and hedged items.Effectiveness of these hedge relationships is measured by maturityschedules.Changes in value of the derivative is accounted for as follows:• fair-value hedge: changes in value of the derivative and of thehedged item, to the extent of the hedged risk, are taken symmetricallyto profi t and loss. There is no net impact on profi t andloss unless the hedge has an ineffective portion,• cash fl ow hedge: changes in value of the derivative are recognisedinitially in other comprehensive income for the effectiveportion, and any ineffi cient portion of the hedge is recognisedin the income statement. The cumulative gain or loss on thederivative deferred in other comprehensive income are subsequentlyremoved and included in profi t and loss when thehedged cash fl ows occur,• hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: changes invalue of the derivative that is determined to be an effective hedgeare recognized in a special reversible shareholders’ equityaccount and any ineffective portion of the hedge is recognizedin profi t and loss.When conditions for hedge accounting are no longer met, thenthe following accounting treatment is applied:• fair-value hedge: only the hedging instrument remains reevaluatedthrough profi t and loss. The hedged item ceases to beadjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk beinghedged and continues to be accounted for in a manner that wasapplicable prior to it being hedged. instrument is fully registeredin accordance with its classifi cation. Regarding AFS securities,fair value changes after discontinuance of hedge accounting arerecorded in shareholders’ equity. For hedged items measured atamortised cost, revaluation adjustment stock is amortised onthe hedged items’ residual life.• cash fl ow hedge: the hedging instrument is valued at fair valuethrough profi t and loss. The cumulative amounts deferred inshareholders’ equity in respect of the hedge remain recognisedin shareholders’ equity and is reclassifi ed to profi t and loss whenprofi t and loss is impacted by the hedged item. For fi nancialinstruments hedged for interest rate risk, profi t and loss is impactedupon interest payments. In other words, the revaluationadjustment stock is amortised through profi t and loss over theremaining life of the hedged item• hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: the cumulativeamounts deferred in shareholders’ equity in respect of thehedge remain recognised in shareholders’ equity as long as thenet investment is held. They are entirely recycled in profi t andloss upon deconsolidation.Embedded derivativesAn embedded derivative is the component of a hybrid contractthat meets the defi nition of a derivative product. Embedded derivativesmust be accounted for separately from the host contractif the following three conditions are met:• the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profi tand loss;• a separate instrument with the same terms as the embeddedderivative would meet the defi nition of a derivative;• the characteristics of the derivative are not closely related tothose of the host contract.• Determination of the fair value of fi nancialinstrumentsThe fair value of fi nancial instruments is measured in accordancewith IAS 39 and are disclosed following the hierarchy defi ned byIFRS 7.The Group also applies the 15 October 2008 recommendationfrom AMF, CNC and ACAM regarding fair value measurement ofsome fi nancial instrumentsFor fi nancial instruments measured at fair value, IAS 39 considersthat the existence of published price quotations in an active marketis the best evidence of fair value.When such quoted prices are not available, IAS 39 requires fairvalue to be determined using a valuation technique based onobservable data or unobservable inputs.154SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4Level 1: fair value that is quoted prices (unadjusted)in active marketsLevel 1 is composed of fi nancial instruments for which fair valueis the quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market. It concernsstocks and bonds listed in active markets (such as the ParisStock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, the New YorkStock Exchange…); it also concerns Funds securities quoted inan active market and listed derivatives such as Futures.A fi nancial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active marketif quoted prices are readily and regularly available from anexchange, broker, dealer, pricing service or regulatory agency,and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring markettransactions on an arm’s length basis. When current prices offi nancial instruments are unavailable at the reporting date, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> refers to the price of the most recent transaction.For assets and liabilities with offsetting market risks, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> uses mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fairvalues for the offsetting risk positions. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> usesthe current bid price for fi nancial asset held or liability to be issued(open long position) and the current ask (offer) price for fi nancialasset to be acquired or liability held (open short position).Level 2: fair value that is measured using observableinputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quotedprices included within Level 1These inputs are either directly (i.e. as prices) observable, or indirectly(i.e. derived from prices) observable, and generally meet thefollowing characteristics: they are not entity-specifi c data but areavailable and regularly obtainable public data accordingly used bymarket participants.Level 2 is composed of:• Stocks and Bonds that are quoted in an inactive market or, thatare not quoted in an active market but which fair value is establishedusing a valuation methodology currently used by marketparticipants (such as discounted cashfl ows technique, Black &Scholes model) and that is based on observable market data.• Instruments that are traded over the counter, which fair value ismeasured thanks to models using observable market data, iederived from various and regularly available external sources.For example, fair value of interest rate swaps is generally derivedfrom interest rates yield curves as observed at the reportingdate.When the Group uses valuation models that are consistent withstandard models based on observable market data (such as interestrate yield curves or implied volatility surfaces), the day onegain or loss resulting from the initial fair value measurement of therelated instruments is recognised in profi t and loss at inception.Level 3: fair value that is measured using significantunobservable inputsFor some complex instruments that are not traded in an activemarket, fair value measurement is based on valuation techniquesusing unobservable inputs i.e. that cannot be observed on themarket for an identical instrument. These instruments are disclosedwithin Level 3.Are mainly concerned, complex interest rate instruments, equityderivatives, structured credit instruments which fair value measurementincludes for instance correlation or volatility inputs that arenot directly benchmarkable.The transaction price is deemed to refl ect the fair value on initialrecognition, any day one gain or loss is differed.The day one gain or loss relating to these structured fi nancial instrumentsis generally recognised in profi t and loss on a systematicbasis over the period during which inputs are deemed unobservable.When all market data become observable, the unrecognisedamount of day one gain or loss is immediatly recognisedin profi t and loss.Valuation methodologies and models used for fi nancial instrumentsthat are disclosed within Levels 2 and 3 incorporate allfactors that market participants would consider in making pricingdecisions. They shall be beforehand validated by an independentcontrol department. Fair value measurement of these instrumentstakes into account both liquidity risk and counterparty risk.Absence of accepted valuation method to determine equity instrument’sfair value.According to IAS 39 principles, if there is no satisfactory method,or if the estimates obtained using the various methods differexcessively, the instrument is measured at cost and remainsrecorded under «Available-for-sale fi nancial assets » because itsfair value cannot be reliably measured.

However,provisions are recognised in relation to them in accordance withIAS 37.• Derecognition of fi nancial instrumentsA fi nancial asset (or group of fi nancial assets) is fully or partiallyderecognised if:• the contractual rights to the cash fl ows from the fi nancial assetexpire or are transferred or are deemed to have expired or beentransferred because they belong de facto to one or more beneficiaries;• substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership in the fi nancialasset are transferred.In this case, any rights and obligations created or retained at thetime of transfer are recognised separately as assets and liabilities.If the contractual rights to the cash fl ows are transferred but someof the risks and rewards of ownership, as well as control, are retained,the fi nancial assets are recognised to the extent of the entity’scontinuing involvement in the asset.A fi nancial liability is fully or partially derecognised only when thisliability is settled.Provisions (IAS 37, 19)<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> identifi es all obligations (legal or constructive)resulting from a past event for which it is probable that an outfl owof resources will be required to settle the obligation, and for whichthe due date or amount of the settlement is uncertain but can bereliably estimated. These estimates are updated as required if theeffect is signifi cant.As regards obligations other than those related to credit risk, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has set recognised provisions covering:• operational risks,• employee benefi ts,• guarantee commitments execution risks,• claims and liability guarantees,• tax risks.Measurement of the following provisions can be made throughestimates:• Provisions for operational risks for which the judgement of themanagement is required as regards the estimate of outcomeand fi nancial effect of the incident, and even if an inventory ofidentifi ed risks is made.• Provisions for legal risks which result from the best estimateof the management given the information available at reportingdate.Detailed information is provided in paragraph 6.13.Employee benefits (IAS 19)In accordance with IAS 19, employee benefi ts are recorded infour categories:• short-term employee benefi ts, such as wages, salaries, socialsecurity contributions and bonuses payable within 12 monthsafter the end of the period;• long-term employee benefi ts, such as long-service awards,bonuses and compensation payable 12 months or more afterthe end of the period,• termination benefi ts,• post-employment benefi ts, which are recorded in the two followingcategories: defi ned-benefi t plans and defi ned-contributionplans.• Long-term employee benefi tsLong-term employee benefi ts are employee benefi ts, other thanpost-employment benefi ts and termination benefi ts that are notdue to be settled within 12 months or more after the end of theperiod in which the employees render the related services.It concerns in particular bonuses and other deferred compensationpaid 12 months or more after the end of the period in whichthey are earned.The measurement method is similar to the one used by <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> for post-employment benefi ts with defi ned benefi tplans.• Post-employment benefi tsRetirement and early retirement benefits – definedbenefit plansAt each closing date, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> determines its liabilitiesfor retirement and similar benefi ts and all other employee benefi tspertaining to the category of defi ned-benefi t plans.In accordance with IAS 19, these obligations are measured basedon a set of actuarial, fi nancial and demographic assumptions, andfollowing the Projected Unit Credit method. This method consistsin booking a charge for each period of service, for an amountcorresponding to employee’s vested benefi ts for the period. Thischarge is calculated based on the discounted future benefi ts.Liabilities for retirement and other employee benefi ts are based onassumptions made by management with respect to the discountrate, staff turnover rate and probable increases in salary and socialsecurity costs. If the actual fi gures differ from the assumptionsmade, the liability may increase or decrease in future periods (seenote 7.4).156SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4Discount rates are determined based on the average duration ofthe obligation, that is, the arithmetic mean of the durations calculatedbetween the valuation date and the payment date weightedby employee turnover assumptions.The return on plan assets is also estimated by management.Returns are estimated on the basis of expected returns on debtsecurities, and notably bonds.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> does not apply the optional « corridor » approachand has directly recognised all actuarial gains and lossesin shareholders’ equity since 1 January 2010, instead of in profi tand loss previously. The main impacts of this change in accountingpolicy on the fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2009are provided in note 1.5.The amount of the provision is equal to:• the present value of the obligation to provide the defi ned benefits at closing date, calculated in accordance with the actuarialmethod recommended by IAS 19,• minus, if any, the fair value at the closing date of plan assets(if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.Where plan assets include qualifying insurance policies thatexactly match the amount and timing of some or all of the benefits payable under the plan, the fair value of those insurancepolicies is deemed to be the present value of the related obligations.into account service and/or performance conditions.

Thisplan is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 dealing withshare-based payment transactions among group entities. Thisplan is recognised as a « cash settled » transaction in the accountsof <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> and as an « equity settled » transaction inthose of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A.A description of the plans granted and the measurement methodsare provided in note 7.6 « Share-based payments ».Issuance of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A. shares proposed to employeesas part of the group Employee Share Ownership Plan is alsogoverned by IFRS 2. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group applies the treatmentset out in the release issued by the CNC on 21 December2004, supplemented by the release issued by the CNC on 7 February2007. Shares may be offered to employees with a discountof no more than 20%. These plans have no vesting period but theshares are subject to a lock-up period of fi ve years.The benefi tgranted to employees is measured as the difference between thefair value of acquired share taking into account the lock-up periodand the purchase price paid by the employee at the issue datemultiplied by the number of shares issued.Pension plans – defined contribution plansFrench employers contribute to a variety of compulsory pensionplans.Plan assets are managed by independent organisations and thecontributing companies have no legal or constructive obligation topay further contributions if the funds do not hold suffi cient assetsto pay all employee benefi ts relating to employee service in thecurrent and prior periods. Consequently, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> hasno liabilities in this respect other than its contributions due for thepast period.Share-based payments (IFRS 2)IFRS 2 (Share-based Payment) requires share-based paymenttransactions to be measured and recognised in the income statementand balance sheet. The standard applies to share-basedplans granted after 7 November 2002, in accordance with IFRS2, and which had not yet vested on 1 January 2005. It covers twopossible cases:• share-based payment transactions settled in equity instruments,• share-based payment transactions settled in cash.Share-based transactions initiated by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Groupthat are eligible for IFRS 2 cover these two types of plans.The principles of determination and payment of bonuses appliedby <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> are in accordance with the regulations framingthe compensations of employees whose activities are likelyto have a signifi cant impact on risk exposure of credit institutions(the ministerial decree of 3 November 2009 and the FBF profesionalstandards for practical implementation).The expenses related to share-based plans settled in <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>S.A. equity instruments, and expenses related to share subscriptions,are recognised as follows:• for « equity settled » plans, as expenses under wages and salariescosts, with a corresponding increase in « consolidatedequity ». Such expenses are linearly spread over vesting period.• for « cash settled » plans, as expenses under wages and salaries,with a corresponding liability. Those expenses are linearlyspread over the vesting period ( between 3 and 4 years) takingCurrent and deferred tax<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has been 99.9%-owned by the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong>Group since 27 December 1996 and some of its subsidiariesform part of the tax consolidation Group of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> S.A..In accordance with IAS 12, income tax comprises all taxes basedon income, both current and deferred.IAS 12 defi nes current tax as « the amount of income taxespayable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profi t (tax loss) for aperiod ». The taxable profi t is the profi t (or loss) for a period, determinedin accordance with rules established by the tax authorities.The rates and rules used to determine the current tax charge arethose in force in each country in which Group companies arelocated.Current tax includes all income tax, payable or receivable. Thepayment of which is not contingent on future operations, even ifsettlement is spread over several periods.Until it is paid, current tax must be recognised as a liability. If theamount is already paid in respect of current and prior periodsexceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess should berecognised as an asset.Certain transactions carried out by the entity may have fi scalconsequences that are not taken into account in determiningcurrent tax. The differences between the book value of an assetor liability and its tax base are qualifi ed by IAS 12 as temporarydifferences.IAS 12 requires that deferred taxes be recognised in the followingcases:• A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for any taxable temporarydifferences between the carrying amount of an asset orliability on the balance sheet and its tax base, unless the deferredtax liability arises from:- initial recognition of goodwill,- initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction thatis not a business combination and that affects neither theaccounting nor the taxable profi t (tax loss) as of the time ofthe transaction.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 157


4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS• A deferred tax asset shall be also recognised on all deductibletemporary differences between the carrying amount of an assetor liability on the balance sheet and its tax basis, insofar as itis probable that a future taxable profi t will be available againstwhich such deductible temporary differences can be allocated.• A deferred tax asset shall also be recognised for carrying forwardunused tax losses and tax credits insofar as it is probable thata future taxable profi t will be available against which the unusedtax losses and tax credits can be allocated.The tax rates applicable in each country are used. In France, currentand deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates of 34.43%.Deferred taxes are not discounted.Taxable unrealised gains on securities do not generate taxabletemporary differences between the carrying amount of the assetand the tax base. Deferred tax is not recognised on these gains.When the relevant securities are classifi ed as available-for-salesecurities, unrealised gains and losses are recognised directlythrough shareholders’ equity. The tax charge or the benefi t relatingto a tax loss by the entity and arising from the unrealisedgains or losses is classifi ed as a deduction from those gains orlosses.In France, long-term capital gains on the sale of investments inparticipating interests are exempt from tax as from the tax yearcommencing on 1 January 2007, as defi ned by the General TaxCode. The tax is calculated using the standard tax rate on 5% ofsuch gains. Accordingly, unrealised gains at the end of the fi nancialyear generate temporary differences requiring the recognitionof deferred tax on this 5%.Current and deferred tax is recognised in net income for the year,unless the tax arises from:• either a transaction or event that is recognised directly throughshareholders’ equity, during the same year or during anotheryear, in which case it is recorded directly trough shareholders’equity;• or a business combination.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset against each other if,and only if:• the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current taxassets against current tax liabilities; and• the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxeslevied by the same taxation authority:- either on the same taxable entity,- or on different taxable entities that intend either to settle currenttax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to settle their taxassets and liabilities at the same time in each future fi nancialyear in which signifi cant amounts of deferred tax liabilities orassets are expected to be settled or recovered.Tax income from receivables and securities portfolios, where theyare effectively used to pay tax expense due with respect to theperiod, are recognised in the same item as the income to whichthey relate. The corresponding tax charge is kept in the « Incometax » caption on the income statement.Non-current assets (IAS 16, 36,38, 40)<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group applies component accounting for allof its non-current tangible assets. In accordance with IAS 16, theaccumulated depreciation takes account of the residual value ofproperty, plant and equipment.Land is measured at cost less any accumulated impairmentlosses.Property used in operations, investment property and equipmentare measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulatedimpairment losses.Purchased software is measured at purchase price less accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses.Proprietary software is measured at cost less accumulated depreciationand accumulated impairment losses.Other than software, intangible assets principally comprise purchasedgoodwill, which is measured on the basis of the correspondingfuture economic benefi ts or expected service potential.Non-current assets are depreciated over their estimated usefullife.The following components and depreciation periods have beenadopted by the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group following the applicationof component accounting for non-current assets. Thesedepreciation periods are adjusted according to the type of assetand its location:ComponentLandStructural worksNon-structural worksPlant and equipmentFixtures and fi ttingsComputer equipmentSpecialist equipmentDepreciation periodNot depreciable30 to 80 years8 to 40 years5 to 25 years5 to 15 years3 to 7 years4 to 5 yearsExceptional depreciation charges corresponding to tax-relateddepreciation and not to any real impairment in the value of theasset are eliminated in the consolidated fi nancial statements.Currency transactions (IAS 21)In accordance with IAS 21, a distinction is made between monetaryand non-monetary items.At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary assets andliabilities shall be translated into the functional currency of <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group at the closing exchange rate.Foreign exchange differences arising from translation are recordedin the income statement.There are two exceptions to this rule:• for available-for-sale fi nancial assets, only the exchange differencecalculated on amortised cost is taken to the income statement;the balance is recorded in shareholders’ equity;• foreign exchange differences on items classifi ed as cash fl owhedge or that are part of a net investment in a foreign entity arerecorded in shareholders’ equity.Non-monetary items are treated differently depending on the typeof item:• items at historical cost are valued at the exchange rate on thetransaction date;• items at fair value are measured at the exchange rate on theclosing date.158SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

They are classifi ed as operatingleases or fi nance leases.Operating leases are treated as an acquisition of a fi xed asset bythe lessee fi nanced by a loan from the lessor.In the lessor’s accounts, analysis of the economic substance ofthe transactions results in the following:• a fi nancial receivable from the customer is recognised, which isdepreciated by the lease payments received;• lease payments are broken down into interest and principal,known as fi nancial amortisation.In the lessee’s accounts, fi nance leases are restated such thatthey are recognised in the same way as if the asset had beenpurchased on credit, by recognising a debt, recording the assetpurchased on the asset side of the balance sheet and depreciatingthe asset.In the income statement, the theoretical depreciation (the chargethat would have been recognised if the asset had been purchased)and the fi nance charges (incurred in connection with thefi nancing) are recorded in the place of the lease payments.In operating leases, the lessee recognises the payments and thelessor records the revenues corresponding to the lease payments,as well as the assets leased on the asset side of its balance sheet.Non-current assets held for saleand discontinued operations(IFRS 5)A non-current asset (or a disposal group) is classifi ed as held forsale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through asale transaction rather than through continuing use.For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must beavailable for immediate sale in its present condition and its salemust be highly probable.The relevant assets and liabilities are shown separately on thebalance sheet under « Non-current assets held for sale » and « Liabilitiesassociated with non-current assets held for sale ».A non-current asset (or disposal group) classifi ed as held for saleis measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair valueless costs to sell. In the event of unrealised losses, an impairmentcharge is made in the income statement, and such impairedassets are no longer depreciated.A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that haseither been disposed of, or is classifi ed as held for sale and:• represents a separate major line of business or geographicalzone of operations;• is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separatemajor line of business or geographical zone of operations;• is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.The following are disclosed on a separate line of the income statement:• the post-tax profi t and loss of discontinued operations until thedate of disposal;• the post-tax gain or loss recognised on the disposal or on measurementat fair value less costs to sell of the assets and liabilitiesconstituting the discontinued operations.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 159


4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1.4 Consolidation principles and methods (IAS 27, 28, 31)Scope of consolidationThe consolidated fi nancial statements include the accounts of<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> and of all companies over which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> exercises control, in accordance with IAS 27, IAS 28and IAS 31. Control is presumed to exist when <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting power.• Defi nition of controlIn accordance with international standards, all entities falling under<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s exclusive control, joint control or signifi -cant infl uence are consolidated, providing that their contributionis deemed to be material and that they are not covered under theexclusions described below.Materiality is assessed in the light of three main criteria representinga percentage of the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidatedshareholder’s equity and the consolidated income statement.Exclusive control is presumed to exist if <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> ownsover half of the existing or potential voting rights in an entity,whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, except if, inexceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated thatsuch ownership does not give it control. Exclusive control alsoexists if <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, as the owner of half or less than halfof the voting rights (including potential voting rights) in an entity,holds majority power within management bodies.Joint control is exercised in joint ventures in which each of the twoor more co-owners are bound by a contractual contribution thatprovides for joint control.Signifi cant infl uence is defi ned as the power to participate in thefi nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but isnot control. <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> is presumed to have signifi cantinfl uence if it owns 20% or more of the voting rights in an entity,whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries.• Consolidation of special-purposeentitiesThe consolidation of special-purpose entities (structures createdto manage a transaction or group of similar transactions andmore particularly funds under sole control) is specifi ed by SIC 12.A special-purpose entity (SPE) is consolidated if it is in substancecontrolled by the <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group, even in the absenceof a capital link. It concerns more particularly dedicated OPCVM.Whether or not a special-purpose entity is controlled in substanceis determined by considering the following criteria:• in substance, the activities of the SPE are being conducted onbehalf of a <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group according to its specific business needs so that the entity obtains benefi ts from theSPE’s operation,• in substance, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group has the decision-makingpowers to obtain a majority of the benefi ts of the activitiesof the SPE or, by setting up an « autopilot » mechanism, theentity has delegated these decision-making powers,• in substance, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group has rights to obtainthe majority of the benefi ts of the SPE and therefore may beexposed to risks incident to the activities of the SPE; or• in substance, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group retains the majority ofthe residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assetsin order to obtain benefi ts from its activities.• Exclusions from the scope ofconsolidationIn accordance with IAS 28.1 and IAS 31.1, investments in associatesand venturers’ interests in jointly controlled entities held byventure capital entities are excluded from the scope of consolidation.Such investments shall be measured at fair value in accordancewith IAS 39, with changes in fair value recognised in profi tand loss in the period of the change.Consolidation methodsThe consolidation methods are respectively defi ned by IAS 27, 28and 31, based on the type of control exercised by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> over the entities that can be consolidated, regardless of theirbusiness or of whether or not they have legal entity status:• entities under exclusive control are fully consolidated, includingentities with different account structures, even if their businessis not an extension of that of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>;• entities under joint control are proportionally consolidated, includingentities with different account structures, even if theirbusiness is not an extension of that of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>;• entities over which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> exercises signifi cantinfl uence are accounted for under the equity method.Full consolidation consists of eliminating the carrying amount ofthe investment held in the consolidating company’s fi nancial statementsand aggregating all assets and liabilities carried by theconsolidated companies, and determining and separately identifyingthe value of the minority interests in their net assets andearnings.Minority interests correspond to investments that don’t givecontrol as it is defi ned by IAS 27. They include instruments thatare portions of interests and that give the right of the net assetsin the event of a liquidation. They also are identifi ed separatelyfrom the parent’s ownership interests in net assets and the profi tand loss.Proportional consolidation consists of eliminating the carryingamount of the investment held in the Group’s fi nancial statementsand aggregating a portion of the assets, liabilities and results ofthe company concerned representing the parent’s ownershipinterest.The equity method consists of eliminating the amount of the investmentheld in the Group’s fi nancial statements and accountingfor its interest in the underlying equity and profi t and loss of theparent’s ownership concerned.The change in the book value of those securities now takes intoaccount the goodwill evolution.Consolidation adjustments andeliminationsThe Group makes all adjustments required to ensure the applicationof consistent accounting policies in the consolidated fi nancialstatements, unless they are deemed not to be material.160SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4Intragroup transactions affecting the consolidated balance sheetand income statement are eliminated in full.Profi ts and loss resulting from intragroup asset transactions areeliminated in full. Impairment measured at the time of an intragrouptransfer are recorded.Translation of foreign subsidiaries’financial statements (IAS 21)Financial statements of subsidiaries expressed in foreign currenciesare translated into Euros in two stages:• translation, if applicable, from the foreign currency transactionsinto the functional currency (currency used in the main economicenvironment in which the entity operates);• translation from the functional currency into Euros, i.e. the presentationcurrency of the Group consolidated fi nancial statements.Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchangerate. Income and expenses on the income statementare translated at the average exchange rate for the period.Translation differences resulting from the translation of assets,liabilities and the income statement are recognized as a separatecomponent of shareholders’ equity.Business combinations - Goodwill(IFRS 3)Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisitionmethod in accordance with IFRS 3.On the date of acquisition, the acquiree’s identifi able assets, liabilitiesand contingent liabilities that satisfy the conditions for recognitionset out in IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair value.Restructuring liabilities are only recognised as a liability if the acquireeis under an obligation to complete the restructuring at theacquisition date.For transactions carried out after 1 January 2010, contingentfuture payments the acquirer will make are conditional on futureevents are recognised at their acquisition-date fair values if theycan be measured reliably, even though their realisation is not probable.Subsequent fair value changes in the clauses that are classified as fi nancial debts are accounted for in profi t and loss.For transactions carried out until 31 December 2009, contingentfuture payments were included in the acquisition cost of the acquireeonly when their realisation became probable even after theappropriation period of 12 months.Since 1 January 2010, non-controlling interest that are presentownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionateshare of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation, can bemeasured according to the choice of the acquirer, in two ways:• at the fair value at the acquisition date,• as the present ownership instruments’ non-controlling interest’sproportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’snet identifi able assetsThis option can be exercised acquisition by acquisition.The non-controlling interests that are not present ownership interestsshall be measured at their acquisition-date fair values.The initial fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilitiesmay be adjusted within a maximum period of twelve months afterthe acquisition date.Certain transactions related to the acquiree are registered separatelyfrom the business combination. It concerns particularly:• effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship between theacquirer and acquiree;• arrangements for contingent payments to employees or sellingshareholders for future services;• transactions that aim to make the acquiree or its former shareholderspay back costs payable by the acquirer.Those separated transactions are generaly accounted for in profi tand loss at the acquisition date.The consideration transferred for the acquiree ( the purchase cost)is measured as the total of fair values transferred by the acquirerat the acquisiton date in exchange for control of the acquiree ( forexample: treasury, equity instruments…)For transactions until 31 December 2009, the purchase cost alsoincluded costs directly attributable to the business combination.For the transactions carried out from 1 January 2010, the acquisition-relatedcosts are now accounted for as expenses, separatelyfrom the combination. When the probabilities of transactionare high, costs are recorded in « Net gains/ (losses) on otherassets », otherwise it is recorded in « Operating expenses ».The excess of the aggregate of the price and the amount ofany non-controlling interest over the net of the acquisitio-dateamounts of the identifi able assets acquired and the liabilitiesassumes, is recognised in the balance sheet as goodwill if theacquiree is fully or proportionately consolidated. If the acquireeis accounted for using the equity method, the excess is includedunder the aggregate « investments in affi liates ». Any negativegoodwill is immediately recognised in profi t and loss.Goodwill is carried in the balance sheet at its initial amount in thecurrency of the acquiree and translated at the year-end exchangerate.For business combinaison achieved in stages, the previously heldequity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition datefair value and recogniase the resulting gain or loss in profi t andloss. The goodwill is measured in one step from the fair value ofthe assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisitiondate.It is tested for impairment whenever there is objective indicationthat it may be impaired and at least once a year.The assumptions to measure the non-controlling interest at theacquisition date may infl uence the measurement of goowill andof any, its impairment.For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated tothe Cash Generating Units (CGUs) that are expected to benefi tfrom the business combination. The Group defi nes a CGU as thesmallest identifi able group of assets and liabilities within its corebusinesses that can operate on the basis of a specifi c businessmodel. Impairment testing consists of comparing the carryingamount of each CGU, including any goodwill allocated to it, withits recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is defi ned as the higher of fair value lesscosts to sell and value in use, which is the present value of thefuture cash fl ows expected to be derived from continuing use ofthe CGU, as set out in medium-term business plans prepared bythe Group for management purposes.When the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount,an irreversible impairment loss is recognised through profi t andloss and deducted from the goodwill allocated to the CGU.When <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> increases its ownership percentage inan entity over which it already has exclusive control, the differencebetween the purchase cost and the portion of assets arisingfrom this increase is now recognised as a deduction from theSHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 161

When <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> decreases its ownership percentage in an entity that remainsunder its exclusive control, the difference between the selling priceand the book value of minority interests sold is also recogniseddirectly in « consolidated reserves, Group share ».Those transaction costs are accounted for shareholders’ equity.For change in parent ownership interest in a subsidiary, goodwillremains the same. Tha carrying amounts of the controlling andnon-controlling interest are be adjusted to refl ect these changes.The <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> Group has granted shareholders of certainfully consolidated subsidiaries an undertaking to acquire theirholdings in these subsidiaries, at a price to be determined accordingto a predefi ned formula which takes account of future developmentsin their business. These undertakings are in substanceput options granted to the minority shareholders, which in accordancewith the provisions of IAS 32, means that the minority interestsare treated as a liability rather than as shareholders’ equity.As a result, the accounting treatment of put options granted tominority shareholders is now as follows:• when a put option is granted to the minority shareholders of analready-fully consolidated subsidiary, a liability is recognised inthe balance sheet in the amount of the estimated present valueof the strike price of the options granted to these shareholders.As the balancing entry for this debt, the portion of net assetsattributable to the minority interests concerned is reduced tozero and the balance is recorded as a deduction from shareholders’equity;• subsequent changes in the estimated strike price affect theamount of debt recorded under liabilities, with a balancingadjustment to shareholders’ equity. Symmetrically, subsequentchanges in the portion of the net assets attributable to minorityshareholders is cancelled through shareholders’ equity.If the parent losses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss is measuredas the sold entity in full and the possible remaining investmentpart is accounted for in the balance sheet for its fair value atthe date of the loss of control.1.5 Impact of this change in accounting method relating to actuarialgains and losses (IAS 19)Since 1 January 2010, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has directly recordedactuarial gains and losses in shareholders’ equity and no longerin profi t and loss. If this method had been applied in 2009, theimpact on the net income would have amounted to +€17 million.162SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

This CGU was created in 2010, in linewith operational entities, which led to partial reallocation of goodwill (share of goodwill of CLSA previously in <strong>CIB</strong> for an amount of €38 million and transferredto Equity Brokers CGU).Goodwill is the subject of impairment tests at least once per year,based on the assessment of the fair value or value in use of theCash-Generating Units (CGUs) to which they are attached.• Fair value corresponds to the amount that could be obtainedfrom the sale of a cash-generating unit in a transaction in normalmarket conditions. It is based on observed prices in recenttransactions for comparable entities, or on standard valuationmultiples in the market in which the unit operates (e.g. a certainpercentage of assets under management).• Value in use was determined by discounting the CGU’s estimatedfuture cash fl ows calculated from medium term plans. Thefollowing assumptions were used:- estimated future cash fl ows: projections between 3 and 6years;- perpetual growth rate: rates ranging between 1% and 4%depending on the CGU;- discount rate: rates ranging between 10% and 15% dependingon the CGU.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> favors the methods based on the most representativevalue-in-use according to business lines, which are asfollows:• <strong>CIB</strong>: on the basis of the medium-term plan projections for <strong>CIB</strong>ongoing activities (excluding brokers)• Equity brokers: on the basis of present valuations as shown inthe structuration process.• Other brokers: on the basis of multicriteria analyses (earningprojections, PER, external sources valuations).• Private banking: on the basis of multicriteria analyses (earningprojections, percentage of assets under management, othermanagement indicators).These tests did not lead to any impairment charge in 2010.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 165

4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSGains and losses for the period from assets and liabilities on thebalance sheet at year-end (-€0.5 billion approximately) mainlyinclude:• the impact of changes in value recognised on CDO units withUS mortgage underlying and their hedges, in the amount ofapproximately + €1.8 billion;• the change in value of other interest rate, credit and equity derivatives,and notably corporate CDOs valued on the basis ofdata that became non-observable, in the amount of approximately-€2.3 billion.However, the fair value (and the change in fair value) of theseproducts by itself is not representative. These products areextensively hedged by other, less complex products, which areindividually valued based on data deemed to be observable. Thevaluation of these hedging products (and the change in their value),which to a large extent is symmetrical to the valuation ofproducts measured on the basis of data deemed to be non-observable,does not appear in the table above.During the period, the fair value of fi nancial instruments transferredout of Level 3 was approximately €329 million. These transfersare mainly due to the restored observability horizon over thematurity of certain measurement variables over time.Sensitivity analysis of fi nancial instruments measured at fair valueon a Level 3 valuation modelAt 31 December 2010, at <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>, the sensitivity tovariables used in the models based on reasonable alternativeassumptions amounted to approximately €209 million (most ofit for discontinuing operations, including €108 million on CDOswith US mortgage underlying and €89 million for corporate CDObusiness).Sensitivity is calibrated independently of the front offi ce, basedprimarily on consensus data:• Corporate CDOs: the extent of uncertainty over the defaultcorrelation (a non-observable variable) is determined based onthe standard deviation between the consensus data relative tothe standard indices;• super-senior ABS CDO tranches: the extent of uncertainty isestimated based on a set rate (10% change in loss scenarios);• equity derivatives: the method is the same as tat used forcorporate CDOs (standard deviation relative to consensus estimates)but applied to dividend volatility and standard correlationvariables;• Fixed-income derivatives: a 2% shock is applied to the maincorrelations (Interest rate/ Exchange rate and Interest rate/Interestrate).10.3 Measurement of the impact of taking into account gains€ million 31.12.2010 31.12.2009Deferred gains at 1 January 297 361Deferred gains generated by new transactions during the period 51 93Recognised in income during the periodAmortisation and cancelled/redeemed/expired transactions (107) (157)Effect of parameters or products that became observable during theyearDeferred gains at the end of the period 241 297• NOTE 11: POST- STATEMENT OF FINANCIALPOSITION EVENTSNo signifi cant event after the closing.208SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

5PARENT-COMPANY STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE PARENT-COMPANYFINANCIAL STATEMENTS• NOTE 1:ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> (SA) prepares its fi nancial statements in accordancewith French accounting standards applicable to banksin France.The presentation of <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s fi nancial statementscomplies with CRB (Comité de la Réglementation Bancaire) regulation91-01, as amended by CRC (Comité de la RéglementationComptable) regulation 2000-03 relating to the preparation andpublication of parent-company fi nancial statements of companiesgoverned by the CRBF (Comité de la Réglementation Bancaire etFinancière) amended mostly in 2010 by regulation ANC N° 2010-08 dated 7 October 2010 relative to the disclosure of credit institutions’parent-company fi nancial statements.The following changes have been made to accounting methodsand to the presentation of the fi nancial statements relative to2009:RegulationsCRC Regulation on the recognition of commissions andfees incomes received by a credit institution and incrementaltransaction costs related to the granting or the acquisition ofa loan.ANC’s regulation for credit institutions relative to transactionsbetween related parties and off-balance-sheet arrangements.Date of publication by theFrench State3 December 2009N° 2009-037 October 2010N° 2010-04Date of the first-time application:financial years commencing on1 January 20101 January 2010The application of these new regulations did not have a signifi cant impact on <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s net income or shareholders’ equity in2010.As regards transactions between related parties, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> doesn’t carry out transactions that not correspond to the usual marketconditions.ReceivablesReceivables on credit institutions, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> Group entitiesand customers are governed by Regulation 2002-03 of 12December 2002, as amended, issued by the French AccountingRegulations Committee (Comité de la Réglementation Comptable– CRC).They are analysed based on their initial term or the type ofreceivable:- current and term receivables, for credit institutions,- current accounts, term accounts and term advances, for internal<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> transactions,- commercial and other receivables and sight accounts, forcustomers.In accordance with regulatory requirements, the «customers«category also includes transactions with fi nancial customers.Receivables are recognised initially at nominal value. Interestaccrued on receivables is recognised in a receivables-relatedaccount and in the income statement.In application of CRC Regulation 2009-03, fees and commissionsreceived, as well as marginal transaction costs borne, are nowamortised over the effective term of the credit. Accordingly,they are shown as part of the outstanding amount of the creditconcerned.The application of CRC Regulation 2002-03, as amended,concerning the accounting treatment of credit risk resulted in<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> recognising receivables with a risk of nonpaymentin accordance with the following rules:Restructured loansRestructured loans are loans to counterparties experiencingfi nancial diffi culties such that the credit institutions decides to alterthe initial characteristics of the contract (term, interest rate etc.)in order to enable the counterparties to honour their repaymentschedules.As a result, the following are excluded from restructured loans:• loans whose characteristics have been renegotiated on acommercial basis and whose counterparties do not show anysolvency problems;• loans whose repayment schedule has been altered due to theapplication of an option or contractual clause initially includedin the contract (e.g.: payment holiday and extension of the loanterm).220SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


PARENT-COMPANY STATEMENTS 5Bad and doubtful debtsLoans and advances of all kinds, even those that are guaranteed,are classifi ed as doubtful if they carry an identifi ed credit risk on anindividual basis arising from one of the following events:• the loan or advance is at least:* six months in arrears for mortgage loans taken out by personalcustomers in France and the EU (three months for personalcustomers outside France and the EU);* six months in arrears for property leases taken out by personalcustomers in France and the EU (three months for personalcustomers outside France and the EU);* six months in arrears for loans to local authorities in Franceand the EU (three months for local authorities outside Franceand the EU);* three months in arrears for loans to central governments, regionalgovernments and public-sector entities (all territories);* three months in arrears for all other loans (all territories);• the borrower’s fi nancial position is such that an identifi ed riskexists regardless of whether the loan or advance is in arrears;• the bank and borrower are in legal proceedings.For overdrafts, the length of arrears is beginning when the debtorhas exceeded an authorised limit and has been made aware ofthis by the institution or when the debtor has been warned thatits borrowings exceed a internal control limit set by the institution,or when the debtor has drawn amounts without an overdraftauthorisation.Instead of using these criteria, the length of arrears may be beginwhen the credit institution has requested that the debtor repaysome or all of the overdraft.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> makes the following distinction betweendoubtful and bad debts:• Doubtful debtsAll doubtful debts and advances which do not fall into the baddebt category are classifi ed as doubtful debts.• Bad debtsBad debts are those for which the prospects of recovery are highlyimpaired and which are likely to be written off in time.Contractual interest is no longer recognized after the loan hasbeen transferred to bad debts.Impairment resulting fromindividually assessed credit riskOnce a loan is classifi ed as doubtful, an impairment charge isdeducted from the asset in an amount equal to the probable loss.This impairment corresponds to the difference between the bookvalue of the receivable and the present value of estimated futurecash fl ows at the contractual interest rate, taking into accountthe counterparty’s fi nancial position, economic outlook and anycollateral minus realisation costs.For outstandings comprising minor receivables presenting similarcharacteristics, the counterparty-by-counterparty review may bereplaced by a statistical estimate of projected losses.Probable losses in respect of off-balance sheet items are coveredby reserves on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.Treatment of discounts andimpairmentDiscounts in respect of restructured loans and impairmentcharges against doubtful debts are recognised in profi t and lossunder cost of risk. For restructured loans classifi ed as performing,the discount is amortised to profi t and loss in net interest incomeover the remaining life of the loan. For doubtful debts, whetherrestructured or not, impairment charges and write-backs are recordedunder cost of risk. The rise in the book value related to theimpairment write-backs and the amortisation of discounts arisingfrom the passage of time are recorded under net interest income.Impairment for credit risk not individuallyimpaired<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> also books reserves on the liabilities side ofthe balance sheet to cover customer risks that are not individuallyallocated to loans.Collective reserves are booked for sets of counterparties andcountries under surveillance and sectors showing identifi ed risk.These reserves are designed to cover specifi c risks on loans classified as performing or not individually impaired, for which there isa statistical or historical probability of partial non-recovery.• Country RiskCountry risk (or international commitment risk) comprises «the totalamount of non-compromised commitments, both on- and offbalancesheet, carried by an institution either directly or throughso-called defeasance structures on private or public debtors residentin the countries listed by the French Prudential SupervisoryAuthority (Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel), or for which the successfulsettlement depends on the situation of private or publicdebtors resident in such countries«. (French Banking Commission(Commission Bancaire) memorandum of 24 December 1998).When these receivables are not doubtful they remain in their originalaccounts.Securities transactionsThe rules on recognising securities transactions are defi ned byCRBF regulation 90-01 as amended by CRC regulations 2005-01, 2008-07 and 2008-17 and the CRC amended regulation2002-03, as regards identifi cation and impairment relating to creditrisk on fi xed-income securities.Securities are presented in the fi nancial statements by type: Treasurybills and similar, bonds and other fi xed-income securities(negotiable debt instruments and interbank market securities),equities and other variable-income securities.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 221


5PARENT-COMPANY STATEMENTSThey are classifi ed in the portfolios specifi ed by regulations (trading,available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, portfolio, other securitiesheld over the long term, investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries)depending on the initial ownership intention relating tothe securities identifi ed in the accounting IT system on purchase.Trading securitiesTrading securities are securities that were originally:• bought with the intention of selling them in the near future, orsold with the intention of repurchasing them in the near future;• or held by the bank as a result of its market-making activity. Theclassifi cation of these securities as trading securities dependson the effective turnover of the securities and signifi cant tradingvolume taking into account market opportunities.These securities must be tradable on an active market and marketprices must represent real transactions taking place regularlyin the market in normal competitive conditions.Trading securities also include:• securities bought or sold as part of specialist management ofthe trading portfolio, including forward fi nancial instruments, securitiesor other fi nancial instruments that are managed togetherand on which there is an indication of recent short-term profi ttaking;• securities on which there is a commitment to sell as part ofan arbitrage transaction on an organised market for fi nancialinstruments or similar.Except where provided for by CRC regulation 2008-17 (see«Reclassifi cation of securities« section below), securities heldfor trading cannot be reclassifi ed into another category, and arepresented and measured as securities held for trading until theyleave the balance sheet through being sold, fully redeemed orwritten off.Securities held for trading are recognized on the date they arepurchased in the amount of their purchase price, excluding incidentalpurchase costs and including accrued interest.Liabilities relating to securities sold short are recognized on theliabilities side of the seller’s balance sheet in the amount of theselling price excluding incidental purchase costs.At each period-end, securities are measured at the most recentmarket price. The overall balance of differences resulting fromprice variations is taken to profi t and loss and recorded in the«Net gain/ (loss) from trading portfolios« item.Available-for-sale securitiesThis category consists of securities that do not fall into any othercategory.The securities are recorded at their purchase price, excluding incidentalpurchase costs.• Bonds and other fi xed-incomesecuritiesThese securities are recorded at their purchase price includingaccrued interest. The difference between the purchase price andthe redemption value is spread over the security’s remaining lifeaccording to an actuarial method.Revenue is recorded in the income statement under: «Interest andsimilar income from bonds and other fi xed-income securities«.• Equities and other variable-incomesecuritiesEquities are recorded on the balance sheet at purchase priceexcluding incidental acquisition costs. Dividend revenues fromequities are taken to the income statement under «Income fromvariable-income securities«.At the end of the period, available-for-sale securities are measuredat the lower of purchase cost and market value. If the currentvalue of an item or a homogeneous set of securities (calculatedfrom the trading sessions on the reporting date, for example) islower than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded in theamount of the unrealized capital losses, with no netting of gainsrecognized on other categories of securities.Gains from hedging, within the meaning of article 4 of CRB regulation88-02, in the form of purchases or sales of forward fi nancialinstruments, are taken into account when calculating impairment.Possible gains are not recognized.In addition, for fi xed-income securities identifi ed as doubtful,impairment intended to take into account counterparty risk andrecognised under cost of risk is booked as follows:• in the case of listed securities, impairment is based on marketvalue, which intrinsically refl ects credit risk. However if particularinformation available to Credit <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> on the fi nancialsituation of the issuer is not refl ected in the market value, a specific impairment is booked.• in the case of unlisted securities, impairment is carried out in thesame way as on loans and advances to customers based onidentifi ed probable losses (cf. previous subdivision of «loans tocustomers«; «Credit risk reserves«).Sales of securities are deemed to take place on a fi rst-in fi rst-outbasis.Impairment charges and write-backs and disposal gains or losseson available-for-sale securities are recorded under «Net gain/(loss)from investment portfolios and similar«. Income from equitiesand other variable-income securities is recorded on the incomestatement under «Income from variable-income securities«.Held-to-maturity securitiesHeld-to-maturity securities are fi xed-income securities with afi xed maturity date that have been acquired or transferred to thiscategory with the manifest intention of holding them until maturity.This category only includes securities for which <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> has the necessary fi nancial capacity to continue holdingthem until maturity and that are not subject to any legal or otherconstraint that could threaten its plan to hold them until maturity.Held-to-maturity securities are recognised at acquisition price,excluding incidental purchase costs, and including coupons.The difference between the purchase price and the redemptionprice is spread over the security’s remaining life.Impairment is not booked for held-to-maturity securities if theirmarket value falls below cost. However, if impairment is relatedto a risk specifi c to the security’s issuer, impairment is booked inaccordance with CRC regulation 2002-03 relating to credit risk; itis recorded in the «cost of risk« item.222SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010


PARENT-COMPANY STATEMENTS 5In the event that held-to-maturity securities are sold or transferredto another category of securities, in a signifi cant amount relativeto the total amount of held-to-maturity securities held by theentity, the entity is no longer authorised to classify securities previouslyacquired and to be acquired as held-to-maturity securitiesduring that year and for two subsequent years, in accordancewith CRC regulation 2005-01, excluding the exceptions specifi edby this regulation and by CRC regulation 2008-17.Portfolio securitiesIn accordance with CRC regulation 2000-02 and with the 2000-12 Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel instructions, securities in thiscategory comprise investments made on a regular basis with thesole aim of securing a capital gain in the medium term, with nointention of investing in the longer term in the development of theinvestee company’s business or of becoming actively involved inits operational management.In addition, securities can only be transferred to this portfolio ifthe signifi cant and permanent activity is carried out within a structuredframework and generates regular income, mainly comingfrom disposal gains.<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> meets these conditions and can classify someof these securities in this category.Portfolio securities are recorded at acquisition price, excludingincidental purchase costs.On the accounts closing date, these securities are measured atthe lower of cost or value in use, which is determined by takinginto account the issuer’s general prospects and the estimatedremaining term of ownership.For listed companies, value in use is usually the average marketprice assessed over a suffi ciently long period (taking into accountthe planned term of ownership) to offset the effect of temporarysharp variations in the share price.Any unrealised capital losses are calculated for each security, andare subject to impairment without netting of unrealised capitalgains. Unrealised gains are not recognised. They are recorded inthe «Net gain/(loss) from investment portfolios and similar« item.Unrealised gains are not recognised.Investments in affiliates, nonconsolidatedsubsidiaries andother long-term securities• Investments in affi liates are shares in companies over which<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> (SA) has sole control and that are or may befully consolidated in the same consolidated whole.• Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries are securities(other than shares in a related company) of which the otherthan-temporaryownership is deemed useful for the businessof a credit institution, including because it allows it to exert influence or control over the issuer.• Other long-term securities consist of securities held with theintention of promoting long-term business relations by creatinga special relationship with the issuer, but with no infl uence onthe issuer’s management due to the small percentage of votingrights held.These securities are recognized at their purchase price includingincidental purchase costs in accordance with CRC regulation2008-07.At period-end, the securities are measured individually on thebasis of their fair value, and are stated on the balance sheet at thelower of cost or fair value.The fair value of these securities is the sum the bank would agreeto pay to acquire them, taking into account its ownership objectives.Fair value can be estimated on the basis of various factors suchas the profi tability and earnings outlook of the issuing company,its shareholders’ equity, the economic situation, the average listedprice in the last few months and the security’s mathematical value.Where the fair value of a security is lower than acquisition cost,the unrealised loss is recognised through impairment, with no offsetagainst unrealised gains.Additions and releases from impairment, together with disposalgains and losses, relating to these securities are recorded under«Net gain/(loss) on disposal of non-current assets«.Market priceThe market price at which the various categories of securities aremeasured is determined as follows:• securities traded on an active market are measured at the latestprice,• if the market on which the security is traded is not or no longerconsidered active or if the security is unlisted, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong><strong>CIB</strong> determines the likely value at which the security concernedwould be traded using valuation techniques. In the fi rst instance,these techniques take into account recent transactionscarried out in normal competition conditions. If required, <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> uses valuation techniques commonly used bymarket participants to price these securities, when it has beendemonstrated that these techniques provide reliable estimatesof prices obtained in actual market transactions.Recording dates<strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> records securities classifi ed as held-to-maturitysecurities on the settlement date. Other securities, regardlessof type or classifi cation, are recorded on the trade date.Reclassification of securitiesIn accordance with CRC regulation 2008-17 of 10 December2008, the following reclassifi cations of securities are now authorized:• from the «held-for-trading« portfolio to the «held-to-maturity« or«available-for-sale« portfolios in an exceptional market situationor in the case of fi xed-income securities that are no longer tradableon an active market, and if the institution intends and isable to hold them for the foreseeable future or until maturity;• from the «available-for-sale« to the «held-to-maturity« portfolioin an exceptional market situation or in the case of fi xed-incomesecurities that are no longer tradable on an active market.SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010 223

These assets may be inthe form of an eligible insurance policy. In the event that 100%of the obligation is fully covered by such a policy, the fair value ofthe policy is deemed to be the value of the corresponding obligation(i.e. the amount of the corresponding actuarial liability).Pension plans – definedcontributionplansThere are various mandatory pension plans to which «employer«companies contribute. The funds are managed by independentorganisations and the contributing companies have no legal orimplied obligation to pay additional contributions if the funds donot have suffi cient assets to provide all the benefi ts correspondingto the services rendered by staff during the current and previousyears.As a consequence, <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> has no liability in this respectother that the contributions to be paid for the year ended.The amount of the contributions with respect to these pensionplans is recognised under «personnel costs«.Extraordinary income and expensesThese comprise income and expenses that are extraordinary innature and relate to transactions that do not form part of <strong>Crédit</strong><strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong>’s ordinary activities.Corporate income taxIn general, only tax due is recorded in the parent-company fi nancialstatements.The tax charge stated on the income statement corresponds to corporateincome tax due by <strong>Crédit</strong> <strong>Agricole</strong> <strong>CIB</strong> (SA) with respect tothat period.

OPINION ON THE PARENT-COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTSWe have conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Those standards require that we plan andperform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the parent-company fi nancial statements are free of material misstatement. An auditconsists of examining, on the basis of tests and other selection methods, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the parentcompanyfi nancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates made in thepreparation of the fi nancial statements and evaluating their overall presentation. We believe that the evidence we have collected is relevantand suffi cient for the formation of our opinion.In our opinion, the parent-company fi nancial statements give a true and fair view, according to French accounting principles, of the resultsof operations for the year ended 31 December 2010 and of the company’s fi nancial situation and assets at that date.Without prejudice to the opinion expressed above, we draw your attention to note 1 to the fi nancial statements, which describes the changein accounting methods and presentation relating to new texts and regulations applicable from 2010.II. SUBSTANTIATION OF OUR OPINIONPursuant to the provisions of Article L.823-9 of the Code de Commerce [French Commercial Code] concerning the substantiation of ouropinion, we bring to your attention the following items:Accounting estimates• As indicated in note 1 to the fi nancial statements, the company books impairment reserves to cover credit risks relating which are inherentto its business activities. Given the specifi c circumstances arising from the fi nancial crisis, we have reviewed the arrangements put in placeby management to identify and evaluate these risks and to determine the amount of impairment it considers necessary, and we haveverifi ed that these accounting estimates were based on documented methods that complied with the principles described in note 1 tothe fi nancial statements.250SHELF-REGISTRATION DOCUMENT CRÉDIT AGRICOLE <strong>CIB</strong> 2010

We reviewed the assumptions made and verifi ed that these accountingestimates were based on documented methods that complied with the principles described in note 1 to the fi nancial statements.Our assessments were made in the context of our audit of the parent-company fi nancial statements, taken as a whole, and thereforeassisted us in reaching our unqualifi ed opinion as expressed in the fi rst part of this report.III.
