The Caisse's contribution to the financial industry in Québec can be measured in a number of different ways. First and foremost, it should be noted that of the $3 billion in banking transactions that the Caisse carries out daily, more than two thirds are processed through banks and brokers established in Québec. In addition, for many years the Caisse has used the services of Québec asset management firms that distinguish themselves through their comparative advantages.
Furthermore, the Caisse and its Real Estate group spend close to $550 million each year in Québec. More than 2,000 Québec suppliers meet the needs of these activities, which helps create or maintain many jobs in the province (not to mention the impact on the development of financial expertise).
To structure its purchasing activities, the Caisse has adopted a Policy on Contracts for the Acquisition or Leasing of Goods and Services (PDF 317 kB). This policy also facilitates the institution's contribution to economic development and aims to promote Québec suppliers, provided they meet the Caisse's cost and quality criteria.
