BNP Pulls Plug On US Energy Sector, Will Exit RBL Lending
Back in 2012, BNP Paribas exited the North American reserve-based lending market, when it sold its RBL unit to Wells in an effort to shore up its balance sheet amid the turmoil generated by the eurozone debt crisis.
A little over two years later, in the fall of 2014, BNP got back into the RBL game in the US. That probably wasn’t a good idea.
