The High Council for Financial Stability is composed of eight members:
1° The Minister for the Economy, Chairman ;
2° The Governor of the Banque de France, Chairman of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, assisted by the Vice-Chairman of this authority;
3° The Chairman of the Autorité des marchés financiers;
4° The Chairman of the Autorité des normes comptables;
5° Three qualified persons appointed, for a period of five years, for their expertise in monetary, financial or economic matters, by the President of the National Assembly, the President of the Senate and the Minister for the Economy respectively.
Appointments of qualified persons respect the principle or, failing that, the objective of parity between men and women within the High Council. If compliance with this principle requires the appointment of one woman and two men or two women and one man, lots will be drawn to determine whether the person to be appointed by each of the three authorities mentioned in 5° is a woman or a man. The procedures for implementing this paragraph are determined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
When convened by its Chairman, the High Council meets at least four times a year and as required.
