    Eric Lombard Named New Finance Minister in France

    PARIS (Reuters) - Eric Lombard, currently at French state bank Caisse des Depots (CDC), has been appointed finance minister in the new French government formed under Francois Bayrou, President Emmanuel Macron's chief of staff said on Monday.
