SFIL
As 7th largest bank in France, based on its current balance sheet, SFIL is a publicly-owned bank that was created in 2013 in order to enable the French local public sector to benefit from enhanced financing conditions. Through the Caisse Française de Financement Local (CAFFIL), SFIL refinances medium and long-term loans offered by La Banque Postale, in partnership with CDC, to local governments and public hospitals. SFIL is now one of the leaders in local public sector financing in France and the largest European bond issuer which exclusively finances the public sector. As of May 2015, SFIL also acts as a public refinancing platform for large export credits.
