JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.<blockquote>法国巴黎银行没有立即置评。摩根大通和高盛拒绝置评。</blockquote> Bank of the West, with $99.2 billion of assets as of June 30, ranks as BNP's biggest business outside Europe.<blockquote>截至6月30日，西方银行的资产为992亿美元，是法国巴黎银行在欧洲以外最大的业务。</blockquote> A sale would give Chief Executive Jean-Laurent Bonnafé cash to invest on the continent where the European Central Bank is urging the region's lenders to merge as they have lagged their U.S. and Chinese rivals in profitability and size since the 2008 financial crisis, the sources said.<blockquote>消息人士称，此次出售将为首席执行官让-洛朗·博纳菲(Jean-Laurent Bonnafé)提供现金投资欧洲大陆，欧洲央行敦促该地区的银行进行合并，因为自2008年金融危机以来，这些银行在盈利能力和规模方面都落后于美国和中国竞争对手。</blockquote> While centred on California, the 147-year old Bank of the West operates 531 branches, primarily in the U.S. West and Midwest. It was bought by BNP in 1979 and subsequently merged with its local subsidiary, the French Bank of California (FBC).<blockquote>这家拥有147年历史的西部银行以加利福尼亚州为中心，经营着531家分行，主要分布在美国西部和中西部。它于1979年被法国巴黎银行收购，随后与其当地子公司加州法国银行(FBC)合并。</blockquote> To secure a successful sale of the business, BNP would have to overcome a number of challenges, the sources noted.<blockquote>消息人士指出，为了确保成功出售该业务，法国巴黎银行必须克服一系列挑战。</blockquote> U.S. President Joe Biden has called for more scrutiny of bank mergers, whilethe departureof Randal Quarles as the Federal Reserve's vice chair for supervision and uncertainty over Jerome Powell's future as chair has cast doubt on banking consolidation.<blockquote>美国总统乔·拜登呼吁对银行合并进行更多审查，而兰德尔·夸尔斯(Randal Quarles)辞去美联储负责监管的副主席职务以及杰罗姆·鲍威尔(Jerome Powell)未来担任主席的不确定性引发了人们对银行业整合的怀疑。</blockquote> Dealmakers, who spoke with Reuters on condition of anonymity, said this leadership void has created an effective hold on the approval of large bank acquisitions by the Fed, making it difficult for bank boards to sanction new transactions.<blockquote>不愿透露姓名的交易撮合者在接受路透社采访时表示，这种领导真空实际上阻碍了美联储对大型银行收购的批准，使银行董事会难以批准新交易。</blockquote> BIDDING FIELD<blockquote>投标字段</blockquote> BNP has long seen PNC as an ideal suitor for Bank of the West, and its sale efforts were emboldened by the purchase price PNC paid for BBVA's U.S. business, valuing it at 20 times its 2019 earnings, the source said.<blockquote>消息人士称，法国巴黎银行长期以来一直将PNC视为西方银行的理想收购者，PNC为BBVA美国业务支付的收购价格鼓励了其出售努力，该公司的估值是其2019年收益的20倍。</blockquote> But with PNC now busy integrating its latest acquisition, BNP is left with a small pool of potential buyers, which include Canadian banks and some regional U.S. players.<blockquote>但随着PNC现在忙于整合其最新收购，法国巴黎银行只剩下一小部分潜在买家，其中包括加拿大银行和一些美国地区性企业。</blockquote> Toronto-Dominion Bank(TD.TO)and Bank of Montreal(BMO.TO)are seen as possible suitors alongside Ohio-based KeyCorp(KEY.N), two of the sources said.<blockquote>两位消息人士称，道明银行（TD.TO）和蒙特利尔银行（BMO.TO）被视为与俄亥俄KeyCorp（KEY.N）并列的可能收购者。</blockquote> TD Bank, with retail operations along the U.S. east coast, has proceeds available from the $26 billion sale of broker-dealer TD Ameriprise to Charles Schwab Corp(SCHW.N).
