On 3 January 2012, the French central bank, Banque de France, has announced to reduce its workforce by 2,500 until 2020. The bank will adopt the rules set for the public sector, recruiting only one replacement for every two retired employees. Until 2020, 5,000 employees will leave the Banque de France due to natural attrition, while the Bank will hire only 2,500 people in the same time period.
The bank's workforce has already been reduced by 2,000 employees over the the last 10 years.
