Francois Hollande has called digital businesses to “take responsibility” to cut short the distribution of illegal content; the financial system to “cut off the supply of terrorism” by attacking both tax havens and money laundering. “Do not let live this beast which also hit you when the time comes,” warned the president who advocated economic development of developing countries to block terrorism.

Francois Hollande then welcomed the decisions of the ECB, which “require more audacity to remove bottlenecks to growth and employment.” He recalled that France has already done much to competitiveness but must now get down to be more attractive and productive to become a major exporting power. “France is aware of its strengths, I’m not going to list them, it would be too long,” said he kicked into touch before mentioning nonetheless the research tax credit, one of the tools the ” most powerful in the world “for innovation. “You expect a lot from France and you are right,” was proclaimed the head of state to the rostrum.
• “You can not be a political power if one does is not an economic power “

He called on participants at the Davos forum to take responsibility, saying that” the global challenges call for courageous responses. ” “We have to decide, choose, invest, innovate” one purpose, concluded François Hollande: “to protect and save the planet”
