Second public mission: provide financing for large export credit

Export Bank as agent and originator

  • f the loan

Export Client – Foreign country

SFIL takes 95% of the export loan (fully guaranteed part) Export bank will keep an exposure of 5% of the loan (unguaranteed part) Export credit guarantee covering 95% of the overall loan

SFIL’s set up: a refinancing platform open to all commercial banks

  • The vast majority of OECD countries rely on a public set up for the refinancing of export loans through two different models:
  • Public refinancing platform: SFIL (France), SEK (Sweden), FEC (Finland), KFW (Germany), CDP (Italy)
  • Direct public lender: US EXIM (US), JBIC (Japan), KEXIM (Korea), EDC (Canada)

Exposures linked to the export credit activity constitute 100% French government exposures

sector and French exports

responsibilities in terms of financial support without time limitation

  • Close supervision by the French State as majority shareholder – all important decisions require

Refinancing of the export credit activity via CAFFIL

No transfer of the export loan – refinancing loan with unconditional and irrevocable State guarantee

  • A refinancing loan from CAFFIL to SFIL - matching the export loan characteristics - serves to refinance the

export loan acquired by SFIL, the export loan will not be part of the cover pool

  • New cover pool exposure consists of refinancing loans to SFIL benefiting from an irrevocable and

unconditional 100% guarantee by the French Republic (enhanced guarantee mechanism law n°2012-1510)

  • Refinancing loans represent public sector exposures fully CRR compliant (Art. 129)
  • One single cover pool for local public sector loans and refinancing loans with an irrevocable and unconditional

100% guarantee by the French Republic * French export credit guarantee scheme is currently managed by Coface and will taken over by BPI France in the course of 2016

Strong asset quality reflected in portfolio risk weightings and comprehensive assessment results

Composition of the cover pool by risk weighting– June 30th 2016 Low risk weightings under advanced internal model

  • CAFFIL uses a Basel II advanced internal

rating model approved by the regulator and based on over 10 years of default statistics, financial and fiscal data and 30 explanatory ratios and risk indicators

  • The quality of CAFFIL’s cover pool is

reflected by an average risk weighting of

  • nly 6.4% versus a standard 20% weighting

under Basel II

  • Only 4% of the portfolio carry a weighting

above 20% Comprehensive assessment of asset quality and stress scenarios in October 2014

  • Solid CET1 ratio at 13.2% under the

adverse scenario – SFIL ranked 20th out of 130 banks

Key Take-Aways

  • Two public policy missions:
  • financing tool for the French local public sector
  • Refinancing platform for export credit loans reinforces strategic role for the French State
  • Strong credit ratings reflect strong support from the French State as reference shareholder
  • Strong asset quality - French public sector assets to represent 90% of portfolio by 2021
  • Status as public development bank reflected by LCR classification as HQLA Level 1 asset

“We regard Société de Financement Local (SFIL) as a government-related entity, and we believe there is an almost certain likelihood that the French government would provide SFIL with extraordinary support if needed.”
