Around the event



They talk about the REAix

“The Rencontres Economiques have become a real moment of exchange on the economic situation in France, in Europe and in the rest of the world with many high quality speakers and it has become an important moment in the economic life of the country.”

Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy and Finance

“My attendance at the Rencontres Economiques is obviously due to the fact that it has become an essential event, allowing me to learn from the other speakers, to exchange with the public, and to present analyses and proposals in a privileged setting and in a relationship that is always marked by respect for others.

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank
