Macron Moves to Name Top Ally Moulin to Lead Bank of France

Emmanuel Macron’s chief of staff will leave next week, clearing a path for the French president to nominate his close ally to run the central bank.

Emmanuel Moulin will be succeeded on May 4 by Pierre-André Imbert, according to France’s Official Journal, published Thursday. That frees him to take over from outgoing Bank of France Governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau in June.
