PARIS, March 13 (Reuters) - French Finance Minister
Bruno Le Maire said on Monday the collapse of the U.S. bank SVB
Financial Group posed no risk to the French banking
system.
"We are monitoring the situation in the U.S. but there is no
specific alert on the French banking system, which is solid," he
told franceinfo radio.
Friday's dramatic failure of SVB Financial Group, which
focuses on tech startups, was the biggest bank collapse in the
U.S. since the 2008 financial crisis.
