Bank of France Aids War Financing and Trade Recovery
Paris May 6 The Bank of France has attracted 1.25 million francs in gold deposits and exchanges for paper money and government bonds since December 24 1914 with receipts running at five million weekly. It has raised its gold reserve to about five billion francs and lent the government seven billion one hundred million francs at one percent, repayable within a year after the war. The bank also backed exporters by buying drafts 300 million francs and guaranteed loans of five million pounds to a Parisian bank and 20 million dollars to an American lender. It facilitated instalment payments to merchants, handling 600 538 drafts and bills from over 200 000 debtors totaling 2 078 932 215 francs. For the war year its cash transactions reached 214 225 000 000 francs. It encouraged checks over currency and may promote wider use of the American check system in France.
