PARIS - Credit Agricole, France's second-largest listed bank, posted better-than-expected quarterly results on Wednesday, driven by a strong performance of its investment bank and retail activities.

The listed entity of Credit Agricole Group, controlled by 39 French mutual banks, said revenues from its corporate and investment bank division rose by more than 9% over the period, propelled notably by a 25.6% jump in trading in fixed-income, currencies and commodities . The net interest margin generated in Italy jumped by 48%, as higher interest rates are more quickly passed on to customers than in France, where almost all mortgages are signed on a fixed rate basis and where the government determines the remuneration of the country's most popular savings account, thus squeezing margins for banks.
