Coface CEO Xavier Durand recently gave an interview to Le Point magazine, now available on Coface’s website, in which he highlights that Coface’s growth plan is to scale its Business Information/data services alongside trade credit insurance. He notes this activity already represents around 4-5% of group revenue and is growing by about 15% per year, helping Coface serve firms that don’t buy credit insurance (he says only around 7% insure their invoices) but still need intelligence on customers, suppliers and counterparty risk. He frames this as an extension of Coface’s core purpose, powered by two assets: a global network of economists and a large “micro-data” engine built from insuring around €730 billion of credit risk across circa 5 million companies.
