Alors qu’il réunit jeudi à Bercy des investisseurs et des entreprises de défense, Eric Lombard a précisé que la banque publique d’investissement Bpifrance allait lancer un nouveau fonds de 450 millions d’euros, dans lequel les Français pourraient investir « sur le long terme » pour un montant minimum de 500 euros.
French public investors will commit €1.7 billion to bolster defense companies' equity, as announced by Economy Minister Eric Lombard. The defense sector needs approximately €5 billion to increase production. Bpifrance will launch a new €450 million fund, allowing the French public to indirectly invest in defense companies with a minimum €500 investment locked for at least five years. The initiative aims to encourage further private investment in the defense industry, which is comprised of large groups and numerous SMEs. The move aligns with a broader European effort to rearm the continent.
