Targeting of high-growth geographical regions and businesses

In the light of underlying trends in the global economy, Société Générale intends to reinforce its positions in geographical regions and businesses offering the best long-term growth prospects. The Group will achieve this through organic growth based on the transfer of its domestic expertise (among the projects already underway: Retail Banking in Russia, Corporate and Investment Banking in Asia), through partnerships (for example, in asset management) or through acquisitions, if any opportunities arise that meet our strict criteria for value creation.
