          Program Background

          First Nations Finance Authority (FNFA) is pleased to announce it is now raising capital for its short-term funding (“Interim Financing”) program through the issuance of commercial paper in the Canadian money market. Prior to this, money was raised through chartered banks but was considered more expensive than issuing securities under the FNFA’s own name. FNFA has issued annually in the bond market since 2014.
