Activity Report


Explanation:
I think that some people may have let themselves be influenced by the fact that the report in question is a good one. i prefer this more neutral term, especially as we speak about a bank's activities in general

Annual Report


Explanation:
In this context, with the year following the term, the translation would be best rendered as "annual report". Specifically, "2019 Annual Report".

It can have the other suggested meanings depending on the context, but it usually refers to a comprehensive report on the organization's activities and performance. This is true of government agencies, such as the Conseil d'État, as well as for major companies, such as BNP Paribas.

"Annual report" is also the direct translation of "rapport annuel", but remember: context is key.

Example sentence(s):
  • Every year, the bank releases its annual report to shareholders, the media, and other stakeholders.
