(Reuters) - BNP Paribas (EPA:BNPP) SA has appointed several senior executives to its Global Markets Americas division, the European bank said on Wednesday, in a move to further consolidate its presence in the United States.

The French bank appointed former Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) executive Kunal Maini as the co-head of Global Macro - Americas and he will be responsible for globalizing the US Rates franchise.

In addition, BNP also hired a string of executives to strengthen its credit portfolio at a time when global fixed income markets have come under immense pressure from soaring inflation and outsized interest rate hikes.

John Hanisch was appointed the co-head of Secondary Credit Americas and Global Head of Securitized Products Trading; Charlie Shah the Head of IG & CDS Trading Americas and Bo Bazylevsky the Head of LatAm Flow Credit Trading.
