BNP Paribas’s capital requirements for credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk surged 56.2% on adoption of Basel III reforms in the first quarter – the biggest increase yet for a global systemically important bank (G-Sib) switching to the new framework.

CVA risk-weighted assets (RWAs) totalled €6.4 billion ($7.3 billion) at end-March, up €2.3 billion in three months and the highest since Q4 2022.
