Bank of France governor and ECB board member Francois Villeroy de Galhau spoke to CNBC earlier
- Says that any escalation in protectionism would be a 'real risk' to the global economy
- Regarding Eurozone recovery and the progress in inflation, he says "there is a convergence of market views and our outlook"
- Europe's economic issues are no longer cyclical, but structural
That's about it on his interview with CNBC. Nothing that really stands out from his comments. He is now speaking in an interview with France's BFM radio.
More comments by Villeroy:
- French jobless outlook is still too high
- France must persevere with reforms, budget discipline
- ECB can't do its work alone, national reforms are necessary
- National reform efforts must be accelerated, amplified, supported
