RESTRICTED COMMITTEE OF 10 MARCH 2026: Update on international and banking news

13 March 2026European Works Council

European Works Council – Crédit Agricole Group

On 10 March, members of the EESC Restricted Committee, accompanied by our expert, met to discuss current international economic and banking affairs.

Against a backdrop of geopolitical and economic tensions, this analysis enabled us to take a bird's eye view of current developments and their possible consequences for the European banking sector.

Discussions focused on, among other things, the potential impacts of international conflicts on the global economy, the evolution of financial markets, and inflation prospects. These tensions could lead to a rise in energy prices and inflation, which could affect banking activities.

These factors warrant a degree of vigilance regarding potential sector developments in the coming months.

We also discussed the dynamics of the banking sector in Europe, marked by a number of strategic moves between banks and competition that continues to intensify.

The EWC will continue to closely monitor these developments and their possible implications for the Group and its employees.
