The origin of CNP Assurances since the mid nineteenth century with the creation of three funds in the Caisse des Depots : the National Insurance Fund in case of death (1848), the Pension Fund for old age (1850) and National Insurance for accidents (1868). CNP Assurances has been there more than one hundred fifty years, a pioneer of life insurance in France. The first two cases come together in 1949 and formed the National Insurance on the life, which merges itself 10 years later with the insurance fund in case of accident to give birth to the National Provident Fund in in 1959. In 1992, the NPC becomes a corporation and changed its name. It is now called CNP Assurances and an IPO in 1998. More
