Issuer strategy

摘要

Over the 125 years of its existence, France's Credit Agricole has been inseparable from the country's farming industry. It first provided 19th-century farmers with an alternative to ruinous usurers and later, through its network of regional banks, helped farms recover from the effects of the Second World War. However, the bank's deep regional roots are more than a quirk of history. They are, in fact, a defining factor of the group's corporate structure and funding strategy up to this day.
