BNP PARIBAS SA
UK short positions the FCA published under this name: 25 companies and 273 disclosures between 1 Nov 2012 and 8 Feb 2022. Each figure is that position as a percentage of the company's issued share capital, not a money value, and percentages are not comparable or summable across companies.
This name still appears in the European registers, which do publish holders: current positions for BNP PARIBAS SA. The two datasets are kept separate and never combined.

Frequently asked questions
- Which UK companies did BNP PARIBAS SA short?
- The FCA's named register recorded BNP PARIBAS SA against 25 UK companies between 2012 and 2026, across 273 disclosures. No position was still open when the register closed on 10 Jul 2026.
- Is this list current?
- No. It is a frozen archive. The FCA stopped publishing position-holder names on 13 July 2026 and now publishes one anonymous aggregate per company per day, so no new named UK disclosure exists after 10 Jul 2026. Today's UK figures are on each company's own page.
- Was this the whole of BNP PARIBAS SA's UK short book?
- No. Only net short positions of 0.5% or more of a company's issued share capital were published with the holder's name. Smaller positions were reported to the FCA privately and never appeared in the register, so the archive is a floor, not a full book.
