COVID-19: FRENCH BANKS SERVING THE ECONOMY

This crisis, unlike any other in recent history, is a health and human shock but also, not surprisingly, an economic shock. The response lies in the fundamentals, mainly the quality of the financing of the economy and the soundness of the banks. The latter have risen to the challenge and continue to work tirelessly for all businesses, by taking strong and massive measures, offering quasi-automatic but still customised support, providing input on the recovery, and implementing new projects. Banks, businesses and public authorities came together to get this done: together, we weathered the crisis and listened to the challenges faced so as to address them as much as possible; together, we will revive the economy; and it is together that we will build for the future.
