The Compañía Española de Financiación del Desarrollo (COFIDES) (English: Spanish Development Finance Company), better known by its acronym Cofides, is a Spanish public company that provides financial support for investments by Spanish companies abroad. This financial support is provided from its own funds and from public funds from the Spanish government.[1] Like France's Bpifrance and Italy's Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, it is also considered a sovereign wealth fund.[2] It is a mixed capital company, majority-owned by the public sector, but in which some of Spain's largest banks and the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean also have a stake.[2] The company's headquarters are located at Paseo de la Castellana 278 in Madrid, in a building it shares with its main shareholder, ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones.[3]
