François Villeroy de Galhau: Economic and financial regulation in the era of big data

Closing remarks by Mr François Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France, at the Conference on "Economic and Financial Regulation in the Era of Big Data", Paris, 24 November 2017.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

I am very pleased to close this Conference on "Economic and Financial Regulation in the Era of Big Data". I was in London this morning and I therefore regret having missed your discussions on an issue which I consider of paramount importance. Let me thank warmly all speakers, in particular  Benoit Coeuré, member of the Board of the ECB, who opened this Conference and Philip-Hans Franses, Professor at Eramus School of Economics, who I am told gave an outstanding lecture.  

Big Data indeed deserves a global view, from a number of angles. It was the objective of this Conference and I am grateful to all of you, presenters and participants, to have made this possible.
