The search for meaning

Philosophy: "field of activity of a person who shows wisdom, depth of soul, detachment "
Policy " art and how to govern, lead public affairs. "

In these troubled times higher than where the stock markets are in a continuous ruckus, when speculation becomes a lifestyle, the reappearance of a new form of welfare state is highlighted. It is about reworking the foundations of a "new capitalism". The values of fairness, respect the common good but also of decency and would be placed at the heart of debates very concrete. Can be Is it time, as in Greek history, that political philosophers are close and (inversely) to work on the search for meaning.

Responsiveness, listening, teaching

The recent measures taken by governments, if not completely reassured everyone, helped make clear the strength of the French banking system. Faced with this exceptional situation, banks are at the heart oftheir responsibilities finance the economy.

At Crédit Agricole d'Aquitaine, this is not new. These economic responsibilities, we operate from our inception whatever the situation, crisis or no crisis. The best example for our support to agriculture with a continuous presence since ever, despite the crisis.

Today there is much talk about loans. With experience, I think the problem is not (our figures show the increase in credit) . In this time of economic crisis Advanced what matters most is customer proximity that we can implement. These are:
- to be able to receive clients in a short time (48h),
- of being in personal listening ,
- to present a range of solutions to enable our clients to advance their projects,
- giving appropriate reasons why some solutions can be implemented.

course, this comes close by expertise (especially customers, merchants, craftsmen, large enterprise, farmer ...). Responsiveness, listening pedagogy. Three postures needed in the profession of banker on which the Credit Agricole Aquitaine committed.

The e-procurement

The Ministry of Economy published this year two fact sheets to help companies take the step towards the dematerialisation of responses to tenders.
The first fact sheet lists the legal tools and techniques of e-procurement formalized.
Legally, electronic writing is allowed in evidence as well as writing paper and has the same probative force as the written paper. Thus, written records referred to by the Procurement Code may be replaced by an electronic exchange or by producing a physical mail.
The technical elements of the electronic signature (certificate, software, encryption) are reviewed in this first form, downloadable at: www.minefe.gouv.fr / directions_services / daj / marches_publics / outils_dematerialisation_marches_publics_formalises.pdf

Let accentuate crisis

Communication excessive media that accompanies the crisis may be the cause of his worsening . According to the theory of "self-fulfilling prophecies", it highlights the tensions and economic markets. A force to bludgeon banks are in danger, the media take the risk of creating panic irrational become very problematic as so well explained Jean-Claude Guillebaud in its Sunday editorial Southwest. Communication as made today is no longer illuminates the crisis but the cause.

Despite this campaign, 84% of French people think their bank avoid bankruptcy (BVA poll BFM-Les Echos published on October 8). The rapid response of our governments and the unanimous commitment of the 27 countries of the European Union on the support banks are there for something. Deposit insurance in this context constitutes a powerful lever on the necessary confidence of depositors in their banks.

At this stage, however, it is still worth restating why my confidence in Crédit Agricole and Caisse d'Aquitaine remains unwavering and total:
Contrary to what is sometimes written, Crédit Agricole is the largest group capitalized France (€ 64 billion of equity). figures generally reported only present the capital of Crédit Agricole SA and not all of the Regional Banks!
The distribution of trades by the Crédit Agricole Group income is very balanced with a contribution virtually equivalent trades retail banking, specialized financial services (consumer credit, leasing, insurance, asset management ...) and banking financing and investment.
The commitment of all Western governments is clear and unambiguous . It will prevent systemic risk in case of default by a bank less solid.
only certainty so far: the unbridled capitalism, the realm of golden boys, lived. values of the real economy should finally find their true place. values close to those of the Regional Banks have always placed near the heart of their models

Solid Foundation Howling with wolves

In this period of financial crisis, we are living in amazing times:

• Minister of Economy and Finance, Christine Lagarde, reaffirms the soundness of the banking system French,
  
• The Governor of the Banque de France Christian Noyer, said his confidence in the French banking system . I suppose this gentleman is competent in the matter, since the Banking Commission that controls banks in France, was placed under his authority.


• The governor of the European Central Bank confirms the commitment of governments European treatment of the crisis and allow its action on the liquidity of markets to maintain continuity credit markets during these critical moments,


• The President of the Republic asserts that the State will assume its responsibilities and sparing no in France will lose one euro. The reactions of governments Belgian-Dutch-french and Luxembourg to rescue Fortis and Dexia are in the demonstration.
  
  Despite all this, some still doubt the soundness of the banking system french!
  
  Regarding Fortis and Dexia, two banks had the distinction of not having a broad base of retail banking, which has allowed some major U.S. banks to pass this crisis without major damage. To finance their lending activities, Dexia and Fortis had to fetch a lot of liquidity in markets which are currently paying dearly.
  
  Crédit Agricole is a French bank in three of ten Europeans is the first retail bank in Europe by revenue . She has more than anyone, this fundamental basis of retail banking.
  In terms of strength, Crédit Agricole banking group best capitalized of France, third in Europe and the 7th World . In 1H 2008, despite the crisis it has identified some € 2 billion after-tax earnings.
  
  In this environment, our Regional Bank is extremely strong: no subprime is in its balance sheet, its level of capital goes well beyond regulatory requirements, its first half results are in line with expectations and the development plan began in 2007. Finally, its role in the regional economy has never been stronger. So Solid!
