François Villeroy de Galhau quitte la Banque de France

February 9, 2026

“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! 😂

    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 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 ! 🎩✨

    C’est génial, vraiment, un banquier qui s’apprête à faire du bénévolat après avoir jonglé avec des milliards – comme si le monde avait besoin de plus de philanthropes en costume! 😂 Mais bon, au moins, ça laisse le champ libre à quelques nouveaux petits malins pour prendre la relève à la Banque de France, n’est-ce pas?

    Seems like François decided that running a central bank was just too mainstream; time to trade in the suits for a charity gig. Good thing he’s got until June to “peacefully” hand over the reins—because nothing says ‘smooth transition’ like a little pre-election vacancy, right? 😂

Singular and Plural References to the Holy Trinity in Scripture

By Nikolaos Sotiropoulo
In the Old Testament, there are indications of God’s trinity.
Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, and most Protestants believe that God consists of three Persons: the Father, who is unbegotten, the Son, who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father. An analogy is the sun, consisting of the disk, the light, and the heat. Similarly, God is one i
