Abstract

[eng] Abstract SFAC, today Euler-Hermes, had become the leader of credit-insurance. Founded in 1927 because businessmen felt the need to cover commercial risks within the country and abroad, the company benefitted with a spectacular upsurge up to 1931, owing to the help of Swiss insurance firms and of the French State. Harshly struck by the 1930s crisis, SFAC recovered momentum in 1935-1938. But, with the creation of COFACE in 1946, it kept only its credit-insurance activities dedicated to the internal market. [fre] Résumé La SFAC, aujourd'hui Euler-Hermes, fait figure de leader mondial de Г assurance-crédit. Née en 1927 de la nécessité de faire face aux risques commerciaux extérieurs et intérieurs, la société connaît d'abord un développement spectaculaire jusqu'en 1931, grâce à l'appui conjugué des intérêts suisses et de l'État français. Durement frappée par la crise des années 1930, elle se redresse cependant entre 1935 et 1938. Avec la création de la COFACE en 1946, elle ne conserve plus que ses activités d'assurance-crédit pour les affaires intérieures.
