Tokyo, December 4, 2017 - Around 500 representatives from the investment, banking and corporate communities, as well as representatives of the French and Japanese Market Authorities have gathered on the occasion of the 21st Paris EUROPLACE Annual Financial Forum in Tokyo today.

Mr. François VILLEROY de GALHAU, Governor, Banque de France stressed that «stepping up reforms is now a priority in France, with a major simplification effort in the labor market and a range of fiscal measures to enhance attractiveness. In a post-Brexit European environment, with Paris having the privilege of welcoming the European Banking Authority, the Paris Financial Centre will take a more leading role including in advancing the agenda for a more integrated European financial sector. The development of Paris as a leading international financial center is strongly supported by the new government. And Paris will strengthen its cooperation with Tokyo for establishing a green financial system at a global level. »
