•    2020-2023 action plan [in progress]
 

Conformity status

The Banque de France (/) website is not compliant with the Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité, RGAA version 4.1, due to the non-conformities listed in the “Test results” section.
 

Technologies used to create the site

•    HTML5
•    CSS
