Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to welcome you for the presentation of the 2017 annual report of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), alongside Bernard Delas, Vice-Chairman of the ACPR, Rémi Bouchez, President of the Sanctions Committee, and Edouard Fernandez-Bollo, Secretary General of the ACPR.

Once again in 2017, the ACPR strived to make finance more secure. I wish to thank the more than 1,000 women and men at the ACPR – 1,026 FTEs at the end of 2017 – for their exceptional efforts in working to accomplish this goal and I would like to emphasise certain key achievements from the past year.
