The WSJ reports that French president Hollande has been asking banks what would get them to come to France
JPM's CEO Jamie Dimon was apparently asked by Hollande in October what would get UK banks employees running over to France. He was told that the chances were slim unless the French relaxed it's labour laws (more chance of the moon being made of cheese).
Hollande supposedly said that change would come and would happen under his successor.
Nothing like a politician's promise to warm the cockles eh?
I'll refrain from calling Hollande a slimy toad, after all, we should all welcome competition, and all's fair in love and war ;-)
