In conversation with Bruno Le Maire, French Minister of Economy and Finance
Monday 23rd November | 11:15 GMT | 12:15 CET
Please join Bloomberg for an exclusive virtual briefing with the French Ministry of Finance and Economy, Bruno Le Maire.
Last September, the French government unveiled a 100 billion-euro stimulus plan to transform the economy with wage subsidies, tax cuts for businesses and funding for environmental projects. With a second lock-down underway, France is prepared to further ramp up spending to support the firms as a resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic casts a longer shadow over the economic recovery.
Bruno Le Maire will also share his views on the European Union’s plans to help the European economy overcome the COVID-19 crisis, including through the implementation of the 750 billion-euro EU recovery package and its green and digital transition objectives.
The Minister will take questions from the audience of this exclusive briefing. We encourage participants to submit questions to the Minister upon registration.
