French lender Crédit Agricole has published its second quarter results a day ahead of schedule on its website. The bank blamed the blunder on a “technical error”.
The group posted better than expected results with €696m in net income compared to €56m in the second quarter of 2012.
Jean-Marie Sander, chairman of Crédit Agricole, said: “With over 484 billion euros of loans originated by the Regional Banks and LCL, Crédit Agricole Group is the leading lender in France and plays a key role in helping to restore the French economy.”
