Since its creation in 2013, Bpifrance has had only one boss in the person of Nicolas Dufourcq, and that is not going to change immediately. Indeed, the current director general of the public investment bank was proposed by the Elysee to be reappointed to his post.
Once his appointment has been endorsed by Parliament, this finance inspector, who worked for France Telecom in particular, will thus begin a third five-year term, after being confirmed in office by Emmanuel Macron in 2018. The financial institution, held separately equal (50%) by the State and the Caisse des dépôts, was created during the five-year term of François Hollande and has since established itself as a pillar in the financing of French start-ups.
