France steps up efforts to lure post-Brexit financial jobs to Paris
The government is mulling fresh measures to attract more bankers in the new year.PARIS — As he flies to New York Friday to convince Wall Street firms to invest in Paris, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire is working to make them feel at home.
The French government is working on measures to make Paris more appealing as a financial hub. The package, planned for the first half of next year and aimed at attracting more bankers displaced by Brexit, would seek to simplify France’s legal and fiscal framework, often perceived as an obstacle for the financial sector.
A French economy ministry official on Thursday confirmed Le Maire "will go further with reforms" and is working on a "legislative or regulatory initiative for 2024."
In New York, Le Maire will be fishing for ideas at meetings with finance heavyweights including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock or Global Infrastructure Partners. He will "take the pulse" and listen to "the expectation of the banking and financial sector, the way in which they perceive Paris and the type of measures" that could be adopted next year, the official said.
