  • 2021 Paris Europlace – Studio Gabriel, Paris Roads For The Future: Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) And Innovative Payments - Closing Address By François Villeroy De Galhau,, Governor Of The Banque De France

    Date 29/06/2021

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    It is a pleasure to be with you today streamed live from Studio Gabriel. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Paris Europlace for having maintained through the crisis this fruitful dialogue with all stakeholders. Before turning to my main point today, I want to stress the resilience of our French financial institutions, which have played a decisive role in helping our economy weather the crisis. It was popular a year ago to predict a financial apocalypse, and certain Europeans, prone to self-flagellation, are still doing so today, whereas the Americans are more self-confident. The reality speaks for itself: French banks’ CET1 was higher at the end of the first quarter of 2021 (15%) than it was before the crisis; their profitability, however still insufficient, has improved sharply in this Q1; in general, French banks are in no way underprovisioned. France and Europe are not facing a “tsunami of bankruptcies”, and should, on the contrary, see a strong recovery: cumulative growth of more than 10% over 2021 and 2022. So we need to remain vigilant, but let’s stop scaring ourselves. This roughly reassuring situation is in no way a call for complacency and status quo. The Covid-19 crisis is acting as an accelerator for the major structural challenges banks and insurers are facing. These challenges are also putting creative pressure on central banks and supervisors. And I will elaborate today on how to catalyse our efforts together on one “road for the future” towards innovative payments and CBDC.

  • Securing A Durable Recovery: Covid-19 And Beyond - BIS Annual Economic Report 2021

    Date 29/06/2021

    • The strong policy response to Covid-19 delivered a faster than expected economic rebound, but the uneven recovery creates daunting challenges for policymakers.
    • In the near term, flexible policy support is key to nursing the recovery. In the longer term, monetary and fiscal policies will need to re-establish safety margins, a complicated task given the unprecedented initial conditions and inadequate structural reforms.
    • The pandemic has exacerbated income and wealth inequality. Monetary policy cannot influence its rising long-term trend, but can mitigate it by tackling macroeconomic instability in line with its mandate.
