The government wants to strengthen the attractiveness of the Paris market. A bill, adopted Wednesday in the Finance Committee, aims to facilitate the financing of European companies from France.
The bill seeks to consolidate Paris as the leading financial center in the European Union. Since 2016 and the referendum marking the divorce between Great Britain and the EU, a large number of investment bankers and traders, whose activities can no longer be carried out from London, have moved to Paris. The text will pass in the Hemicycle on April 9 and May 14 in the Senate.
