Annual reports
2019-2020 report
Well before the pandemic outbreak at the end of the financial year ended on March 31, 2020, this implicit motto guided our actions, thoughts, and strategies. We anchored and stabilized our team in the face of a full-blown market storm and stayed the course together. Despite everything, in 2019-2020, working together our team distributed nearly $7.5 million in loans for 43 projects in which 484 jobs were maintained and/or created. Our actions generated investments in excess of $15 MILLION. Since its foundation, CAE has invested $136.3 million in businesses.
