Investing.com -- French President Emmanuel Macron has nominated Emmanuel Moulin to lead the Bank of France, the Elysee Palace announced Tuesday. Moulin, 57, is one of Macron’s closest advisers.
The heads of the finance committees of the National Assembly and the Senate have been informed of the nomination, according to the palace statement.
Moulin will succeed Francois Villeroy de Galhau, who is retiring early at the end of May. The nomination must clear parliamentary hearings before Moulin can assume the role.
Lawmakers have previously warned they will oppose Macron placing allies in senior positions before he leaves power next year.
