The Washington Office works with the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and other public and private institutions on economic, monetary, financial and fiscal issues. This office is responsible for the analysis of the U.S. economy, significant aspects of monetary policy, federal and local budget issues and regulatory issues. It is also responsible for benchmarking the best practices in its field of competences.

The New York office keeps close contacts with the financial community. This office monitors American financial markets (monetary, stocks, bonds, commodities and foreign exchange), as well as the evolution of the activities of the main financial industries (commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, international investors). It also takes part in the promotion of French financial interests in the U. S. through information provided to American investors on the French economy and financial outlook, issuance of French Treasury bonds, and ongoing privatizations. In addition, the New York Office conducts detailed studies on specific issues dealing with the evolution in markets regulations, new products, recent trends influencing the markets and the financial industry, and strategies used by the different markets participants.
