Dexia was born out of the 1996 alliance of the two major European players in local public finance: Crédit Communal de Belgique and Crédit Local de France. These two entities merged with Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL) in 1999 and all the three formed the publicly listed Dexia Group.
Dexia is one of the top twenty banking groups in the euro zone with more than 36,500 employees in 39 countries as of June 30, 2008.
