BNP reviews options for U.S. unit, on track to meet capital requirements

BNP Paribas said on Wednesday it is considering “strategic alternatives” for its U.S. unit First Hawaiian Bank which could help France’s biggest listed bank reach regulatory capital requirements by mid-2017. BNP said its fourth-quarter results would be impacted by 0.9 billion euros due to the impairment of goodwill for its Italian unit BNL, but confirmed its 45 percent dividend payout target.
