Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking

Returning from the 2026 International Monetary Fund and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, I want to thank our clients, partners and peers for the open and constructive exchanges over the past days. The IMFs message was clear: the global economy is holding up, with growth projected at 3.1% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027, but its resilience depends on how sovereign debt, technology, geopolitics and financial interconnectedness interact. Five key themes stood out in our conversations: - Financial stability risks: AI valuations, sovereign yields and cyber risk, and how quickly a shock in one part of the system can spread to the rest. - Capital productivity: competition in banking will depend less on balance-sheet size and more on returns per unit of capital. - Banks, insurers and private credit: the ecosystem continues to converge, and the advantage lies in the ability to originate, structure, distribute and manage risk across it. - Fiscal credibility: how Europe can manage public finances while mobilising capital for defence, energy security, AI and competitiveness. - AI: the question is no longer just efficiency, but whether it will change the economics of the industry. At Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking and Groupe BPCE, we believe the next phase of financial services will be defined by the intelligent allocation of capital, risk and technology across an increasingly interconnected ecosystem. We remain committed to supporting our clients with capital optimisation, risk transfer, structured solutions, financing and strategic advisory. Thank you again to all those who took part, and to the Natixis teams on the ground.

🌿Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking's Green Summit 2026 How do you plan for the long term when tomorrow is unpredictable? At our 2026 Green Summit, the message was clear: the priorities shaping our world – geopolitics, AI, energy security, and competitiveness – are no longer separate. They are actively colliding. So, how do you steer a business when the horizon is shifting every month? When short-term crises constantly demand our attention, how do we stop "firefighting" and start building long-term resilience? These are just some of the questions that drove the discussions on why sustainability must become a strategic capability for resilience and competitiveness. 🎥 Watch the highlights below to discover more about our 2026 Green Summit ➡️ Read our article to find out the key takeaways and themes running though discussions of the day: https://lnkd.in/eyv4NByy 📌 Don't miss: the offscreen interviews, featured in our article!

Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking welcomed over 200 clients and industry leaders to its 2nd Annual Private Debt Forum in Japan and for the first time, Hong Kong to explore the private debt landscape in Asia Pacific & the Middle East (APME). 🚀The APME private credit market is projected to grow rapidly, with local investors increasingly supporting the region’s growth with greater scale and sophistication. 🤖 Data centers and AI-linked digital infrastructure have moved from niche real estate into a distinct, capital‑hungry asset class spanning development, stabilized core, and GPU financing. 🔓 NAV facilities, secondary solutions, rated note feeders, CFOs, infrastructure CLOs and reinsurance‑backed structures are designed to unlock new pools of capital while managing liquidity and regulatory constraints. 🙏 Thank you to all our panelists and participants for their valuable insights on the above and more. We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
