  • The historical mission of the Front Office (FO) department is to provide the active financial management of the Region’s direct debt through the negotiation and conclusion of financial transactions (financing and derivatives) and the monitoring of the portfolio at market prices.
  • The department’s other missions include firstly providing advice on the granting of regional guarantees and monitoring the risk profile of the entities benefiting from the regional guarantee, as well as consolidated entities. Secondly, supporting regional entities in the search for financing and the implementation of new regional financing tools
  • Lastly, we can highlight the development of financial expertise for the financing of major projects in the Region and, more broadly, the provision of advice and support for financial management at the request of Government and the regional and community entities.
