In his 2020 letter on the economic crisis resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, Villeroy de Galhau urged the President to make fiscal stability a priority, neither increasing nor reducing taxes.

In the traditional letter from the governor of the Banque de France to the French President, he called on Emmanuel Macron to use the economic recovery to pursue political reforms and defend the European social model as a shield against social inequalities, in 2017. In 2018, he underlined the urgent need for the public expenditure to be contained.
