The division – which includes equipment finance, operational

– is a core activity alongside retail banking arm, and generates a
significant proportion of revenue, around 66 per cent in H1 08 and
61 per cent for the same period last year.

Of the results Frédéric Oudéa, the group’s CEO, said: “During a
H1 marked by a crisis on an exceptional scale, financial services
and retail banking continued to grow. Société Générale will
continue to purse its strategy despite an environment that is
likely to remain difficult.”
