The French election results: Implications for France, the EU and business

The second round of the French snap parliamentary elections took place over the weekend with surprising results. Over the coming days, the final count will probably raise more questions than answers. French politics will now likely change dramatically, with implications well beyond France’s borders.    In the Flint Briefing Call recording our experts will explore these implications and what they mean for businesses and investors. They will consider what government could emerge from the election and what it would mean for policymaking, economic policy and financial stability in France and in Europe. More widely, they will cover the impact of a weaker French leadership at European level and internationally.  The discussion was chaired by Flint Director and former French diplomat Francois-Joseph Schichan, joined by Anne-Juliette Rohrbach, Partner and Managing Director of Flint France, Sir Julian King, former European Commissioner and UK Ambassador to France, and David Wright, Specialist Partner and former deputy director general of DG FISMA at the European Commission.
