Société financière française et coloniale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Société financière française et coloniale (SFFC, "French and Colonial Financial Company") was a French investment bank that was an active investor in colonial ventures, particularly in the 1920s. It was founded in 1920 by financier Octave Homberg,[1] who led it until having to leave in stages in 1930-1931 following heavy losses.[2] In 1949, the SFFC changed its name to Société financière pour la France et les pays d'Outre-Mer (SOFFO, "Financial Company for France and Overseas Lands"), which eventually merged into investment company Suez Industrie in 1998.[3]
