BNP Paribas on Monday took advantage of the renewed interest among foreign investors in Korean stocks to sell part of its investment in Shinhan Financial Group. The block trade accounted for just 15.8% of the French bank’s total stake in Shinhan, but allowed it to raise W223.25 billion ($211 million) in a pretty tightly priced deal.
