Banque de l'Indochine

Japanese: インドシナ銀行 - インドシナぎんこう(英語表記)Banque de l’Indochine
Banque de l'Indochine
A French colonial bank established in 1875. Its Chinese name was Banque Oriental Huili. It was granted the exclusive right to issue banknotes in French Indochina, but also engaged in general banking and adhered to a strict profit-making philosophy. In the early 20th century, it expanded its branch network to China and became a gateway for French capital to enter the Far East, but after World War I it shifted its focus to the development of Indochina, actively participating in the establishment and capital increase of mines and plantations, and dominating the colonial economy. It converted into a private bank in 1947.

1875年設立されたフランスの植民地銀行。中国名は東方匯理銀行。フランス領インドシナにおける銀行券発行の独占権を付与されたが,一般的な銀行業務も兼業し,徹底的な営利主義を貫いた。20世紀初めには中国に支店網を広げ,フランス資本の極東進出の窓口ともなったが,第1次大戦後は事業活動の重点を本来のインドシナ開発に移し,鉱山やプランテーションの開設・増資に積極的に参加,植民地経済界に君臨した。1947年民間銀行に転換。
