BPCE, the recently formed French
banking giant, will publish a four-year plan at the start of 2010
which will focus in part on international acquisitions, a
spokesperson for the bank told RBI. They would not divulge any

BPCE, which was formed in July through the

d’Epargne – are still largely independent
