“Our stake in Monte dei Paschi has not changed and has no vocation to change. There is the JV in insurance which continues to develop and we will participate in the bank's capital increase”. This was stated by the president and CEO of Axa, Henri de Castries, at the press conference on the accounts of the French group. The share in Mps – the CFO Denis Duverne then specified – is 3,7%.
“We support Profumo and Viola – continued de Castries, when asked about the confirmation of the top management of MPS, on the occasion of the imminent appointment for the election of the top management -. We hope they continue for as long as possible. They did an important and difficult job." The French group will propose the renewal of its representative on the board, Beatrice Bernard.
