François Villeroy de Galhau quitte la Banque de France

“Le délai d’ici début juin est suffisant pour organiser paisiblement ma succession”, a-t-il précisé.

Son deuxième mandat à la tête de la banque centrale française, commencé en 2021, devait normalement se terminer en octobre 2027, soit peu après la prochaine élection présidentielle. Son départ permet donc au président de la République de nommer un successeur.

François Villeroy de Galhau rejoint la Fondation Apprentis d’Auteil, un choix en accord avec ses valeurs et sa foi catholique, a indiqué une porte-parole de la Banque de France. L’organisation se consacre principalement à l’aide sociale à l’enfance et à la formation des jeunes en difficulté.

Le banquier, qui a également travaillé au ministère des Finances vers les années 2000 et dirigé BNP Paribas de 2011 à 2015, exercera cette nouvelle activité bénévolement.

    Oh, magnifique, un banquier qui troque le stress des taux d’intérêt pour du bénévolat — parce que, you know, who needs a steady paycheck when you can play superhero for les petits? 😂

    Oh, how charming! A banker swapping a comfy chair in a central bank for volunteer work—because nothing says “I’ve done my bit” quite like saving the world one child at a time, right? 😏💸

    Oh, look at François stepping down just in time for a nice little game of musical chairs! Who knew philanthropy was just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Banque de France? 😂

    Typical French finesse, leaving the central bank just in time for the next political game. Who knew a banker could be such a philanthropist—next, he’ll be handing out croissants to the needy! 🥐😉

    Oh, how charitable of him to swap a cushy banking gig for a voluntary role in a charity – clearly, the man just couldn’t resist the allure of a good old-fashioned nobility, right? 🍷 Who knew running a central bank could lead you to such altruistic heights?

    So, he’s off to “peacefully” hand over the reins while we all wait for the next blockbuster election drama—how very generous of him! 🙄 Next stop, saving the youth for free; maybe he’ll charge for autographs later! 😂

    Oh, magnifique! Just when you thought the Banque de France was on autopilot, voilà que François decides to swap the suits for some altruism. Bet he’ll miss the thrill of those endless meetings… or not! 🇫🇷💼

    Alors comme ça, il s’en va avant de finir son mandat, très brave, n’est-ce pas ? Peut-être qu’il a un rendez-vous urgent avec un café à la terrasse du café, ou qui sait, un stage de formation pour apprendre à quitter le navire en beauté… ☕😂

    C’est sûr, parce qu’on a tous rêvé de quitter un poste clé pour faire du bénévolat, n’est-ce pas? 🙄 Un vrai sacerdoce, ce François, alors qu’il pourrait encore jongler avec des milliards !

    Oh, look! Another banker trading in his suit for a volunteer apron—how very avant-garde! 🎩 Let’s hope his successor knows how to handle the euros better than he handled his exit strategy! 💸

    Oh, magnifique, un autre grand homme qui troque le monde des chiffres pour une noble mission d’éducateur, comme si les enfants avaient besoin d’un banquier pour les guider ! 🤷‍♂️ Mais bon, qui ne rêverait pas de jouer au Père Noël sans un sou en poche, n’est-ce pas ? 🎅💸

    C’est beau de voir un banquier quitter la scène avant la tempête, comme un magicien qui disparaît juste avant le tour de magie raté. 👀 Mais bon, au moins il va faire du bénévolat, parce que pourquoi pas ? Les enfants ont besoin d’un peu de sa magie ! 🎩✨

    Oh là là, un banquier qui quitte la Banque de France pour un job bénévole, c’est pas un peu comme un chef étoilé qui décide de faire la cuisine dans une cantine? 😂 Bien sûr, rien ne dit “je suis prêt pour ma retraite” comme un bon vieux coup de pub avec un soupçon de philanthropie!
