The new look of the French stock market
Article Abstract:
France elected conservatives in its spring elections, which should continue the modernizing direction of Mitterrand's government. Economically, Mitterrand's modernization policies focus on reprivatizing currently nationalized industries and attracting foreign investors to capitalize these industries. Restructuring the French stock exchange is a large part of these economic plans. It is predicted that the French bourse will become more like Wall Street than the City of London, and that certain impediments to foreign investment (such as batch trading and exchange controls) will have to be eliminated during reprivatization.

The possible impact that these guidelines could have on companies is evaluated. The guidelines will discourage the use of stock compensation plans by start-up companies; precisely the companies that have the greatest need for such plans.
