	News - City of Paris launches a Swiss franc bond issue, lead managed by BNP Pa... \| BNP Paribas Bank
		The City of Paris announces the launch of a bond issue in Swiss francs, for CHF150 million, under its EMTN financing programme.
		This is indeed how the City of Paris is perceived, coupled with the evident prestige attached to the capital of France.
		This operation will enable the City of Paris both to diversify its financing sources by targeting a specific spread of investors, and to finance itself, after fully hedging the exchange risk, on particularly beneficial financial terms, significantly better than those of a bond directly issued in euros of a similar size and maturity.

		Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements (districts or boroughs), each of which has a local council and a mayor, but most of the power is held by the mayor of the City of Paris who is chosen by the city’s council.
		Paris acquired further glory as the scene of many of France’s greatest cultural achievements: the plays of Molière, Racine, and Corneille; the music of Lully, Rameau, and Gluck; the paintings of Watteau, Fragonard, and Boucher; and the salons where many of the philosophes of the Enlightenment gathered.
