French Parliament approves Macron's pick to run Bank of France

​Emmanuel Moulin, ​President Macron's pick ‌to head ​the Bank of France, garnered ‌enough votes in parliament on Wednesday to be approved as the incoming governor ‌for that central bank.

Though Moulin ‌has sterling credentials as an economic policymaker, he had faced questions about his ⁠independence ​from Emmanuel ⁠Macron due to his last job ⁠as Macron's chief of staff.

Macron's ​rivals had accused him of installing ⁠loyalists in a bid to ensure ⁠his ​legacy and hedge against a possible win by the far-right ⁠National Rally in next year's presidential ⁠vote.
