Principal Holding annonce que l’ancien chef du gouvernement et ministre des Finances Daniel Risch doit devenir, à compter du 1er octobre 2026, vice-président et délégué du conseil d’administration du groupe de gestion de fortune, sous réserve de l’autorisation de la surveillance financière. L’épisode nourrit un débat de 'revolving door' en raison du passage relativement rapide d’un portefeuille des Finances et de la régulation à un acteur privé du secteur financier.

II. Constellation of documented links

No documented link with another published profile for now.

Two profiles are linked when a documented controversy of one names the other. The link points to that controversy and its sources; it does not indicate a personal relationship.
