Paris aims to win race to be EU's post-Brexit financial capital
Paris
FINANCE Minister Bruno Le Maire said Paris will beat Frankfurt to become the European Union's (EU) main financial centre after Britain leaves, even as he acknowledged that the French capital is playing catch-up.
"We will take the difficult decisions, we will lower French taxes, we will make our country more attractive," Mr Le Maire said in a television interview in his office in eastern Paris, overlooking the River Seine. "We will win the race."
