French President Francois Hollande named the new French government on 26 August 2014 under Prime Minister Manual Valls. Those ministers who rebelled against the austerity measures suggested by Hollande were dropped out from the list.
A former banker and ex-presidential economic adviser Emmanuel Macron will be the new economy minister in place of Arnaud Montebourg. Fleur Pellerin was made Minister for Culture, replacing Aurelie Filippetti who is out of the government.

However, foreign minister Laurent Fabius, defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and finance minister Michel Sapin will retain their posts.
