 “Coface achieved good results in 2013, with a robust technical performance highlighting the quality of our risk management in a still very fragile economic environment. This performance also shows the success of our strong operational and financial management over the last three years. 

Our commercial growth dynamic is strong, with new business generation up 29% in 2013, a positive factor for the current financial year. Growth is more than ever at the core of our strategy, and will be driven by innovation and a multichannel distribution approach aimed at seizing profitable growth opportunities throughout the world.

With a solid operational and financial profile, our group looks forward with confidence and enthusiasm to the proposed initial public offering envisaged in the first half of this year, subject to market conditions.”
