“French lawmakers approved Emmanuel Macron's former chief of staff, Emmanuel Moulin, to govern the Banque de France.”
Our verdict
True
Parliamentary vote records show that the finance committees did not oppose Moulin's nomination, falling short of the three-fifths negative threshold needed to block it, and news reports confirm that French lawmakers approved him as governor of the Banque de France.
