We have taken into account the forces at play both in Québec and around the world to clearly identify the context in which we are working and ensure that our investments contribute to sustainable economic development in Québec.

Our Development plan was instrumental in helping SGF to get back at cruising speed. We are now making a clear and solid contribution to Québec’s sustainable economic development.

A partner that measures up
SGF is one of the most important development capital investors in Québec and is committed to accelerating economic growth.

Its team has the experience and know-how to develop customized financial solutions for each of its partners. This value added is one of SGF’s distinctive features.

Vision for 2008
SGF will again face many challenges in an economic context that remains difficult. Once more, we shall aim to invest $250 million in Québec’s economic development and to achieve profitability for the fourth straight year. We are maintaining the strategic orientations that have enabled us to reach profitability, and we support the government’s initiative to create a new economic space for Québec by opening up markets in Europe and Canada, to cope more effectively with international competition and the parity of the Canadian and U.S. currencies.

I wish to thank the members of the Board of Directors for their confidence and wise counsel. I also thank SGF’s employees, who are the heart and soul of our organization. And I thank our partners, whose success is our raison d’être. We’re teaming up to measure up.
