Alors que l\u2019Autorit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re des Premi\u00e8res Nations (AFPN) fait le bilan d\u2019une ann\u00e9e historique, nous devons reconna\u00eetre le leadership visionnaire de nos communaut\u00e9s membres qui s\u2019efforcent d\u2019am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de vie au sein de leurs nations.<\/p>\n

Nous sommes fiers d\u2019\u00eatre la seule organisation au monde \u00e0 mobiliser des capitaux priv\u00e9s pour financer des projets des Premi\u00e8res Nations au moyen d\u2019un mod\u00e8le d\u2019emprunt commun. C\u2019est une v\u00e9ritable r\u00e9conciliation \u00e9conomique en action.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fiscal year 2023-24 was one of celebration for FNFA members, its Board of Directors (Board) and staff: the organization saw continued operational self-sufficiency, we issued our tenth debenture, surpassed the $2 billion level for our loan portfolio, received all-party support for impactful amendments to our Act (see Message from the Chair), were recognized as a Top Employer in the Province of BC, signed an MOU with our Australian counterparts, and saw a material increase in the number of institutional investors purchasing our latest debenture offering. FNFA also commenced actions to organize a technical committee that is working towards reviewing the appropriate establishment of a not-for-profit insurance model specifically for Indigenous communities and contractors: asset and bonding insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This tenth debenture, which closed on January 24th, 2024, was for $357 million, our largest to date. With an expanding FNFA borrowing membership and an expectation that our debenture issuance program will increase, staff embarked on major investor roadshows throughout the Fall. These investor presentations led to an expansion of our bondholder base and sets our membership up nicely by ensuring FNFA\u2019s access to larger amounts of capital continues as our First Nations members\u2019 opportunities expand in scope.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

FNFA\u2019s Board and staff celebrated when our loan portfolio achieved the $1 billion level in 2020-2021. The FNFMA\u2019s institutions\u2019 outreach continued with First Nations coast-to-coast-to-coast, leading to FNFA reaching the $2 billion level in only three further years. And, recently FNFA surpassed $3.05 billion in financing for First Nation governments, contributing to an estimated 30,000 jobs and an output of $6.5 billion to the Canadian economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This growth momentum is due to increasing participation by First Nations in equity opportunities, and a recognition by the private sector that First Nations are beneficial business partners. This change in political and private sector thinking ties in nicely with FNFA\u2019s mandate areas under our Act \u2013 financing economic opportunities. The significance to our membership is that these for-profit ventures provide much-needed cash flows that allow First Nations to achieve community priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In closing, I would like to thank our First Nations members for their continued support during the last fiscal year, our Board of Directors for always being available to review loan requests on short notice, and our hard-working staff for always meeting our members\u2019 loan financing timelines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
