The Chair and the Secretariat of the Paris Club

THE CHAIR

The Chairman of the Paris Club, traditionally a senior official of the French Treasury, is currently Mr. Bertrand DUMONT, Director-General of the Treasury.

His deputies at the French Directorate-General of the Treasury serve as Co-Chairman and Vice-Chairperson.

Mr. William ROOS, Assistant Secretary for Multilateral Affairs, Trade and Development Policies Department is Co-Chairman.

Mrs. Shanti BOBIN, his Deputy in charge of Multilateral Financial Affairs and Development Division is Vice-Chairperson.

THE SECRETARIAT

Its informal character has made it possible for the Paris Club to work with limited staff and a flexible structure.

A permanent Secretariat was established at the end of the 1970s, when the Paris Club's activity started to become more intense than in previous decades.

The Secretary General, Mr. Benjamin DARTEVELLE, runs a ten-person team of French Treasury officials.
