Jacques Necker

Jacques Necker (1732–1804) was a Genevan banker who served as finance minister to Louis XVI. He moved to Paris in 1748 as a bank clerk and made his fortune there.

Appointed director of the royal treasury in 1776, he financed France's part in the American War of Independence by loans from 1777. In 1781 he published the Compte rendu, the first public account of the royal budget, and was dismissed months later.

Recalled in 1788, his dismissal on 11 July 1789 helped provoke the storming of the Bastille. Recalled again, he faced opposition to tax reform and resigned in 1790; he died in 1804.
